When you find yourself the need to load third party jars into Maven repository, there are few steps you normally do to test it out. You first install them locally into $HOME/.m2/repository, and then create your project pom that list those dependency. When things look good, then you deploy into your own hosted repository. The following scripts will help you perform these tasks.

TIP
|
If you have lot’s of jars under a group, it’s more conveninent to create an extra pom that list these dependency and install/deploy it into the repository as well. And then your project would only need to include one dependency with <type>pom</type>. |

# Install local jar files into Maven repository. The artifact name would be same
# as the filename minus the extension.

# Usage:
# # Print as maven dependency used in pom file
# mvn-install.sh mygroup 1.0.0 lib/*.jar
#
# # Install jar files into local maven repo
# RUN_TYPE=install mvn-install.sh mygroup 1.0.0 lib/*.jar
#
# # Deploy jar files into remote maven repo
# export REPO_URL=http://localhost/nexus/content/repositories/thirdparty
# RUN_TYPE=deploy mvn-install.sh mygroup 1.0.0 lib/*.jar
#
# Capture command arguments and options
