Question

I want to replace a Jar in my .m2 repository. I have older version of Jar in my repository. I want to update it to newer one.

Currently I have jtidy-4aug2000r7-dev.jar at C:\.m2\repository\jtidy\jtidy\4aug2000r7-dev.

I want to update it to jtidy-r938. I have this jar at my local folder.

Can some one tell me how to do it.

Since it’s on central, the easiest way is to declare it as a dependency to your project and run mvn dependency:get.

<dependency>
    <groupId>net.sf.jtidy</groupId>
    <artifactId>jtidy</artifactId>
    <version>r938</version>
</dependency>

This will put the r398 version in (another) subdirectory beside the 4aug2000r7-dev version.

To manually install an artifact refer to this answer.

Cheers,
