I have followed the steps, and I am now getting the following error message
when I try to package my project:
[INFO]
------------------------------------------------------------------------
[ERROR] BUILD ERROR

Basically, I manually deployed the two dll's to Maven's repository (via mvn
install:install-file) and then made the following changes to my pom:
...
<dependency>
<groupId>org.git.systems</groupId>
<artifactId>Curvi</artifactId>
<version>1.0.0</version>
<scope>compile</scope>
<type>dll</type>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.git.systems</groupId>
<artifactId>OptimizedSolver</artifactId>
<version>1.0.0</version>
<scope>compile</scope>
<type>dll</type>
</dependency>
...
...
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-dependency-plugin</artifactId>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>copy</id>
<phase>package</phase>
<goals>
<goal>copy</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<artifactItems>
<artifactItem>
<groupId>org.git.systems</groupId>
<artifactId>Curvi</artifactId>
<version>1.0.0</version>
<type>dll</type>
<overWrite>true</overWrite>
<outputDirectory>/testingDLL</outputDirectory>
<destFileName>Curvi</destFileName>
</artifactItem>
</artifactItems>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
</project>
Is there something I did wrong along the process?
Thanks, I can't wait to get this to work.
