Once agian thanks Dave for qyuick response. That's what I did to install manually the jar files in repo.
Are you saying that I could use any random group ids and artifacts ids to install my jar files in local repo as long as it those match with my pom file ? So I had lets suppose common-logging-1.2 jar file but I did not know the group id and artifact id for this jar file so I search for this jar file on maven web site and found group id(gid) and artifact id(aid)[some times there are more group ids for same artifact id, how do you decide in that case ??) and use those gid/aid to install jar file manually. I never created pom file manually but when I issued mvn install then maven downloaded the pom files for jar files itself and then some of those pom files have dependencies on other jar files and at end I ended up with many un needed jar files.. Am I making any sense ? Once again big thanks for all help. You people are awesome. Thanks, Petr --- On Wed, 10/29/08, David C. Hicks <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > From: David C.
