I have a maven project (I use the jersey template, since I'll be creating an API) and would like to add an external jar file. I tried to follow this reference here
I'm using Eclipse Mars in Windows environment. I added the following depedency to my pom.xml file
Now, when I try to use the jar file in my application, why is that I can't access it? The classes in the jar file couldn't be resolved.

I sometimes use file system based repos for this kind of thing.
<repositories>
<repository>
<id>local-files</id>
<name>local-files</name>
<url>file://c:\test\filerepo</url>
</repository>
</repositories>
Then you can install files into the file repo...
mvn install:install-file -Dfile=onebusaway-gtfs-1.3.3 -DgroupId=org.onebusaway.gtfs -DartifactId=onebusaway-gtfs-1.3.3 -Dversion=1.0 -Dpackaging=jar -DlocalRepositoryPath=c:\test\filerepo
Just include the above <repoisitory>
entry into any pom you want to have access to the file repo. For example:
<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/maven-v4_0_0.xsd">
<modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
<groupId>com.example</groupId>
<artifactId>some-artifact</artifactId>
<packaging>jar</packaging>
<version>1.0</version>
<name>some-artifact</name>
<url>http://maven.apache.org</url>
<repositories>
<repository>
<id>local-files</id>
<name>local-files</name>
<url>file://c:\test\filerepo</url>
</repository>
</repositories>
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.onebusaway.gtfs</groupId>
<artifactId>org-onebusaway-gtfs-1.3.3</artifactId>
<version>1.0</version>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
</project>
