Question

For a java/scala project I have some dependencies that are not in a remote repository, but somewhere else in my filesystem. I have then two options, which lead to questions:

1. I can add a lib/ directory in my project folder. How can I tell buildr to add the content to the class path ?

2. I can use the builtin dependencies management system. Can I indicate a filesystem repository path instead of an http one ?

Thanks

I found the solution I was looking for in buildr mailing list. The compile.with() method accepts an array of file names (with the path prefix of course). So if the dependencies are jars in a directory called lib you can just call:

compile.with Dir['lib/*.jar'] 

in the buildfile. Hope that will help other buildr adepts.
