Question

I have a dependency

    <dependency>
        <groupId>de.matthiasmann</groupId>
        <artifactId>twl</artifactId>
        <version>1.0.0</version>
        <scope>system</scope>
        <systemPath>${project.basedir}/lib/TWL.jar</systemPath>
    </dependency>

Then I execute mvn assembly:assembly. All natives files and remote maven libs are added, but there is no this jar.

UPDATE

When I am trying to run app by java -jar myjar.jar. It returns an error that there is no class from the above dependency (NoClassDefFoundError : de.matthiasmann.twl.ForExample).
I want to add classes from this jar to myjar.jar (the same what maven does with remote dependencies). How I can configure maven to do that?

Answer 1

See Maven 2 assembly with dependencies: jar under scope "system" not included for why system dependencies are not included and how you can work around it, specifically the mvn install:install-file code is what you want.
