Maven – Include system scope dependency in maven-assembly-plugin

6 Comments

If you don’t have Maven repository server like Archiva or Nexus, you may need to include those libs which are not public on the internet in your Maven project and specifiy the dependency scope as system in the pom.xml. The following example includes the eureka-0.0.1.jar which is located in the folder called external on project root.

<dependency>
  <groupId>ykyuen.info</groupId>
  <artifactId>eureka</artifactId>
  <version>0.0.1</version>
  <scope>system</scope>
  <systemPath>${project.basedir}/external/eureka-0.0.1.jar</systemPath>
</dependency>
