A team member has shared his project with me on bitbucket and he used maven to manage his dependencies. After cloning the repo (using mercurial) into my workspace (Eclipse) and downloading maven, m2e and all the other required set up files i was able to get all of the project libraries except for 4.
After downloading the project, i ran several mvn commands to clean, install and hopefully download these missing jars. When i ran mvn -e command i get this long error that does nothing to help. Do i have to find and download these 4 jars and put them in my maven repo?
Command output: mvn -e

EDIT:
I just need to share my local repository with all other team members that clone my project. External jars that dont use maven have to be manually installed into my local repo, this creates a problem because i cant share my local repo? Any ideas
You can either install these JARs in your local repository, or setup an own (possibly private) maven repository for you to share with your team. Sonatype provides with Nexus OSS an open-source based software to easily set up a repository (which also proxies remote ones if you like).
