The static in-project repository solution

The static in-project repository solution:

<repository>
    <id>repo</id>
    <releases>
        <enabled>true</enabled>
        <checksumPolicy>ignore</checksumPolicy>
    </releases>
    <snapshots>
        <enabled>false</enabled>
    </snapshots>
    <url>file://${project.basedir}/repo</url>
</repository>


Use Maven to install to project repo:

mvn install:install-file -DlocalRepositoryPath=repo -DcreateChecksum=true -Dpackaging=jar -Dfile=[your-jar] -DgroupId=[...] -DartifactId=[...] -Dversion=[...]

<repository>
    <id>repo</id>
    <url>file://${project.basedir}/repo</url>
</repository>

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.swinglabs</groupId>

    <version>0.9.2</version>
    <scope>system</scope>
    <systemPath>${project.basedir}/lib/swingx-0.9.3.jar</systemPath>
</dependency>


Registering your repository in pom.xml:

    <repository>
      <id>ProjectRepo</id>
      <name>ProjectRepo</name>
      <url>file://${project.basedir}/libs</url>
    </repository>

Maven Introduction

There are basically four types of repositories involved

1. Local Repositories
2. Global Repositories
3. Project Repositories
4. Custom Repositories

A snapshot version in Maven is one that has not been released. The idea is that before a 1.0 release (or any other release) is done, there exists a 1.0-SNAPSHOT . That version is what might become 1.0 . It's basically " 1.0 under development".

Downloading in Maven is triggered by a project declaring a dependency that is not present in the local repository (or for a SNAPSHOT, when the remote repository contains one that is newer). By default, Maven will download from the central repository.

Maven central repository : http://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2/
Maven central repository : http://central.maven.org/maven2
Maven central repository : http://uk.maven.org/maven2/

Maven Plug-In repository : http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/codehaus/mojo/


Maven reads both global settings as well as user setting file when you trigger install

The above plug-in look for the cargo-jetty-7-and-onwards-deployer-1.4.11.war in side jetty/web-apps  folder and before that it identifies the jetty running on the specified host and port , later the binding with plug in and jetty happens via cargo war.

Once the binding is over, plug in will deploy the application war into the identified jetty. Later you can run the web/rest test cases from your java module.
