    There are still many Java libraries that are not support for Maven, or may be you want to create a custom library which is required to include it into your Maven local repository.

    Fortunately, Maven comes with command to let you include your “non-maven-support” library into your Maven local repository easily.
    Case study

    For example, “kaptcha” is a third party library which is used to generate “captcha” image to stop spamming, but it did not support Maven.

    Here’s a guide to show you how to install the “kaptcha” jar into your Maven’s local repository.
    1. Install library – mvn install

    Download the “kaptcha” jar file and put it into your “C:” drive, and issue following Maven’s command :

    mvn install:install-file -Dfile=c:\kaptcha-2.3.jar -DgroupId=com.google.code
    -DartifactId=kaptcha -Dversion=2.3 -Dpackaging=jar

    Result :

    D:\>mvn install:install-file -Dfile=c:\kaptcha-2.3.jar -DgroupId=com.google.code
    -DartifactId=kaptcha -Dversion=2.3 -Dpackaging=jar

    [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------
    [INFO] [install:install-file]
    [INFO] Installing c:\kaptcha-2.3.jar to
    D:\maven_repo\com\google\code\kaptcha\2.3\kaptcha-2.3.jar
    [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------
    [INFO] BUILD SUCCESSFUL
    [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------
    [INFO] Total time: < 1 second
    [INFO] Finished at: Tue May 12 13:41:42 SGT 2009
    [INFO] Final Memory: 3M/6M
    [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Now, the “kaptcha” jar library is included into your Maven local repository.
    2. Modify pom.xml file

    After installed, you can add the custom library details into your “pom.xml” file like this

    <dependency>
          <groupId>com.google.code</groupId>
          <artifactId>kaptcha</artifactId>
          <version>2.3</version>
    </dependency>

    3. Done

    Build it, now the “kaptcha” jar is able to retrieve from your Maven local repository.
