Maven – How to configure maven local and remote repository in gradle build file

gradlemaven

i want to use the maven local repository additionally to a maven remote one. I found the JIRA-Issue http://issues.gradle.org/browse/GRADLE-1173 for that, but adapting my gradle build file in that way some snapshot dependencies which are only available in the local maven repository are still not found. I get an error that the Snapshot-Dependency is not found.

Is it possible to have one local and one remote maven repository?

Here is the relevant part of my gradle build file:

apply plugin: 'maven'

repositories {

    mavenLocal()

    maven {
        credentials {
            username "myusername"
            password "mypassword"
        }
        url "http://myremoterepository"
    }

}

I also needed to do a similar setup with my project and I can verify your build.gradle setup works provided your Maven is setup correctly.

Gradle's mavenLocal() relies on the localRepository definition from the maven settings.xml file:

  <localRepository>USER_HOME\.m2\repository</localRepository>

The settings.xml should be in either your M2_HOME/conf or your USER_HOME/.m2 directory. You should check:

maven is installed correctly
M2_HOME environment variable exists
settings.xml has the correct localRepository defined..

Java – How to add local jar files to a Maven project

You can add local dependencies directly (as mentioned in build maven project with propriatery libraries included) like this:

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.sample</groupId>
    <artifactId>sample</artifactId>
    <version>1.0</version>
    <scope>system</scope>
    <systemPath>${project.basedir}/src/main/resources/Name_Your_JAR.jar</systemPath>
</dependency>

Update

In new releases this feature is marked as deprecated but still working and not removed yet ( You just see warning in the log during maven start). An issue is raised at maven group about this https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-6523 ( You can participate and describe why this feature is helpful in some cases). I hope this feature remains there!

If you are asking me, as long as the feature is not removed, I use this to make dependency to only one naughty jar file in my project which is not fit in repository. If this feature is removed, well, there are lots of good answers here which I can chose from later!

Java – IntelliJ inspection gives “Cannot resolve symbol” but still compiles code

First of all you should try File | Invalidate Caches and if it doesn't help, delete IDEA system directory. Then re-import the Maven project and see if it helps.

In some weird cases compiled classes may report wrong info and confuse IDEA. Verify that the classes from this jar report correct names using javap.
