Description

Maven should add support for project local dependencies where a jar file is stored in one of the lib folders in the project.

Currently there is undocumented support for it using maven.jar.<id> however the use of <id> is deprecated and should be removed.

Another way I can think of is to use the properties project.path and local.path

project.path == dependency relative to the location of the project.xml file. This ensures that you are on the right file by using getParent of the project.getFile() method.

local.path == dependency wherever on the system (just like maven.jar)

This would help speed up migration of ant projects to maven projects.

Better patch, puts in the path separator automatically instead of having to prefix the project paths with a "/"

How is maven.jar.override undocumented?

According to http://maven.apache.org/reference/user-guide.html#Overriding_Stated_Dependencies

the <id> you mention is artifactId, not id.

But where would you specify the groupId? One of the reasons for the patch was to allow

<groupId>struts</groupId>
<artifactId>struts</artifactId>

<groupId>myclosedsourcecompany</groupId>
<artifactId>struts</artifactId>

Also its not documented in the list of properties here

http://maven.apache.org/reference/user-guide.html#Behavioural_Properties

I think most people if they find out about this list would go there to find out some of the core properties of maven and may not look further down. That document is getting long already as well anyway, perhaps if it was broken down as well for the next release (though the long version of the page is still provided for printing purposes).

we need to use a proper id for jar overrides and document it in 1.1.

I'd suggest maven.jar.groupId.artifactId (but also look for just artifactId to be backwards compatible).

eg
maven.jar.org.apache.maven.maven = maven.jar

Not sure about your example.
Since you have maven.jar.org.apache.maven.maven should it just be maven.jar.maven.maven ?

Archimedas: yes, now it is maven.maven. Sorry, I was thinking in future-tense

Carlos: good point. To make it more clear, perhaps:
maven.override.jar.groupId.artifactId = <version | filename>

I know its long, but it should suffice.
