Spring is on ibilio at http://www.ibiblio.org/maven/springframework/jars/. Other ones you need may be there too.
I would recommend moving the JAR files that are not on ibiblio (or some other repository) to a local repository. If you place them in src/lib you'll have to check them into your source control system. I suppose its really a matter of preference and expediency. I'm guessing you have some JAR files that don't follow the naming conventions. If you have "spring-core.jar" instead of "spring-core-1.0.jar" then you have a problem. It is a common problem. In my case I inherited JAR files who's very names don't correspond to anything in ibiblio, e.g. "spring-stuff.jar". What I've done is created a groupId called cruft and stored these jars under it in my local repository. So I'd put the spring-stuff.jar underneath maven/cruft/jars. In my project.xml I'd create the dependency like this: <dependency> <groupId>cruft</groupId> <attributeId>spring</attributeId> <version>stuff</version> </dependency> Then I'd try to upgrade the system to a versioned JAR from a trusted repository and change the <dependency> accordingly. Obviously there are lots of variations. -c. helck -----Original Message----- From: Randolph Kahle [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, February 17, 2005 12:06 PM To: Maven Users List Subject: Project configuration with 3rd party package dependencies I am converting a project to Maven. This project has dependencies on many external libraries (JAR files). Which is the preferred way to handle these: * Create a /src/lib area for run-time dependencies * Move the JAR files into the local repository Examples of dependencies include Spring, aspectjrt.jar, imap.jar, etc. I do not that some (most?) of these JAR files does not follow the naming convention that allows for automatic version management.
