Install manually jar file

Question

Install manually jar file into repository.

I want to install this SDK as maven dependency.

https://developer.intuit.com/docs/0100_quickbooks_online/0400_tools/0005_accounting/0200_java/0002_installing_the_java_sdk_for_quickbooks

I tried this:

mvn install:install-file -DgroupId=com.intuit.code.devkit.v3 -DartifactId=ipp-v3-java-devkit -Dversion=2.5.0 -Dpackaging=jar -Dfile=c:\lib\ipp-java-qbapihelper-1.2.1-jar-with-dependencies.jar

But I get

[INFO] Scanning for projects...
[INFO]

[INFO]

When I browse my local repository I can't find any jar file into the directory. Can somebody give some advice how I can fix this?

according to the output log, the file should be in `C:\Users\plamen\.m2\repository\com\intuit\code\devkit\v3\ipp-v3-java-devkit\2.5.0\`, isn't it there? — A_Di-Matteo, Sep 02 '16 at 14:13

What I've done in the past to make this work is:

Copy the jar file(s) of interest to a temp folder i.e. project root/tmp

Run the following command (adjusting the parameters accordingly) in the command line from the the project root directory:

mvn install:install-file -Dfile=tmp/<filename>.jar -DgroupId=intuit.code.devkit.v3 -DartifactId=ipp-v3-java-devkit -Dversion=2.5.0 -Dpackaging=jar -DlocalRepositoryPath=<repo path> (i.e. src/dependencies/jars)

After that command you should see a src/dependencies/jars/com/... directory with maven artifacts under it

Add dependency to your pom.xml

<!— <project> is the parent element —>
<repositories>
    <repository>
        <id>system-jars</id>
        <url>file://${basedir}/src/dependencies/jars</url>
    </repository>
</repositories>
<!— Add the dependency —>
<dependency>
    <groupId>com.intuit.code.devkit.v3</groupId>
    <artifactId>ipp-v3-java-devkit</artifactId>
    <version>2.5.0</version>
</dependency>

Perform a maven clean and package. Verify the classes are included in the end artifact and then delete the tmp directory once everything is correct.
