Installing third party jars in Maven

Some companies don’t put their jars in Maven official repositories, so when working in a local environment is useful to have this jars available as any other.

	mvn install:install-file -Dfile=JAR_FILE_PATH -DgroupId=GROUP_ID -DartifactId=ARTIFACT_ID -Dversion=VERSION  -Dpackaging=jar

where:

JAR_FILE_PATH: path to the jar file to install
GROUP_ID: Id to identify a group that will contains the jars released by the same provider (i.e. org.springframework)
ARTIFACT_ID: Id to identify a single jar file (i.e. spring-core)
VERSION: version of the specific jar (i.e. 1.2.0)

to declare this new added jar in the pom.xml

<project>
  ...
  <dependencies>
    ...
    <dependency>
      <groupId>GROUP_ID</groupId>
      <artifactId>ARTIFACT_ID</artifactId>
      <version>VERSION</version>
    </dependency>
    ...
  </dependencies>
  ...
</project>
