Hi,
As a follow up if anyone else has a similar problem, a solution for me
is.....
Adding the following plug-in to the POM.xml located in the visual studio
project folder will allow the maven build to get the file from your
repository and copy it to <outputDirectory> + <destFileName>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-dependency-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.4</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>copy</id>
<phase>process-resources</phase>
<goals>
<goal>copy</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<artifactItems>
<artifactItem>
<groupId> release.product.productname </groupId>
<artifactId>propductmanger</artifactId>
<version>1.0</version>
<type>zip</type>
<overWrite>true</overWrite>
<outputDirectory>./lib</outputDirectory>
<destFileName>MYFILE.zip</destFileName>
</artifactItem>
</artifactItems>
<outputDirectory>./lib</outputDirectory>
<overWriteReleases>true</overWriteReleases>
<overWriteSnapshots>true</overWriteSnapshots>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
