is there a quicker way to maven install say a complete lib folder to maven dependencies rather than the individual command for each jar:

mvn install:install-file -DgroupId=third-party -DartifactId=app-eventinfo -Dversion=1.0 -Dpackaging=jar -Dfile=EventInfoToOrder.jar

Is there a way I can say this is a folder of dependencies or a little work around in eclipse where I trick maven into using a user defined library as a dependency.

Yes I have a lot of folders that have been sitting on my buildpath which I must install to my local repo.

Cheers for reading 🙂

    The problem is not about the folder contents, but specifying the correct values for groupId, artifactId and version.

    If you are ok with random values for this, then you could write a dirty batch file/shell script to do this.

    Otherwise, the time you spend trying to automate this (by having a mapping of groupId, artifactId and version for each jar in your folders), you can arguably do mvn install:install-file manually.

    A better option would be to review your dependencies and see which are not available in maven repo and only install those. The remaining will be downloaded by maven on its own.
