Maven Third Party Repo

demo.txt

# This will create a pom, md5 and sha1 for the jar and pom in your ~/.m2/ directory. 
# here i'm installing the FlurryAgent from my /tmp/ directory

mvn install:install-file -Dfile=/tmp/FlurryAgent.jar -DgroupId=com.flurry -DartifactId=FlurryAgent -Dversion=2.2 -Dpackaging=jar -DcreatePom=true -DcreateChecksum=true

# Copy this entire folder from your ~/.m2/ folder
# Place it into your third.party.closed.source repo (local repo checked into source control)


# In your applications pom file, add a third party repo 
# This assumes the apps is at the same level as the 3rd party repo (see below for folder structure)
<repository>
    <id>third.party.closed.source.repo</id>
    <url>file://${basedir}/../maven_repo_3rd_party</url>
</repository>


# Then check in the third party repo into your source control
# This is not optimal, but it will prevent all of your team members
# from having to manually install this file. 

# example source control folder structure
/--
  /maven_repo_3rd_party
  /YourAppName


# Now, when you run "maven clean install" maven will find the jar in the local 3rd party repo. 
# When you check it in to your source control repo, you'll all then have access to it.
