Question

I’m new to maven, sorry for nub question: need to build maven project using my version of artifact instead of the one from repo.

More detailed:
I downloaded jboss sources from github and built them using maven 3. It was great! I need to do some changes in jboss dependancy called “picketbox”. Now it is an artifact in jboss’s “pom.xml”.

I built my own version of picketbox in my_picketbox.jar file. How can I tell maven to use my .jar instead of the one from repo?

Answer 1

Maybe I’m missing something but if you explicitly renamed the artifact then it will just be a matter of replacing picketbox with my_picketboxin the relevant JBoss POM-file(s).

<dependency>
    <groupId>...</groupId>
    <artifactId>my_picketbox</artifactId>
    <version>...</version>
</dependency>

And of course, you make sure your artifact is in your local repo by mvn install‘ing it.

Cheers,
