Add Local jar in maven

Simple ways to add and work with a `.jar` file in your local maven setup

# Add to project as system scoped file

As a short term tactic, I have also added the .jar as a system scoped file.

I did this in the past when working with a ‘bug fix’ version of Selenium WebDriver that had not yet propagated through to maven central, but which was available for download.

<dependency>
  <groupId>selenium_2_53_1</groupId>
  <artifactId>com.seleniumhq.selenium_2_53_1 </artifactId>
  <version>2.53.1</version>
  <scope>system</scope>
  <systemPath>
    C:/Users/Alan/Downloads/selenium-2.53.1/selenium-server-standalone-2.53.1.jar
  </systemPath>
</dependency>


# Install .jar locally to your .m2 repository

mvn install:install-file \
-Dfile=target/restmud-engine-1.4-SNAPSHOT-jar-with-dependencies.jar \
-DpomFile=pom.xml

If I didn’t have the pom.xml file, I could still do this, I just add the details from the pom.xml into my command line:

mvn install:install-file \
-Dfile=target/restmud-engine-1.4-SNAPSHOT-jar-with-dependencies.jar \
-DgroupId=uk.co.compendiumdev \
-DartifactId=restmud-engine \
-Dversion=1.4-SNAPSHOT \
-Dpackaging=jar
