Question

I know that I am not the only person that might need to send a Maven project to someone that doesn’t have access to my private remote repository and only needs to build the project in a stand alone fashion.

In my case I need to send my Mavenized project to a customer that doesn’t have access to our internal Archiva instance where we host all of our dependencies.

How can I create a stand alone Maven project with all the dependencies to build the project in a stand alone fashion?

NOTE: I don’t want to just export the dependencies, I need an automated way to add them to the stand alone local repository as well.

Answer 1

You should be able to configure settings to use

< localRepository >${some.location.in.your project}< /localRepository >

This describes how to configure settings. After that you run online build and package your project with repository. Unpack and you should be able to build in offline mode.
