maven-install-plugin does not load local dependency

Question

I'm trying load local dependencies using the Maven maven-install-plugin:

<plugin>
    <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
    <artifactId>maven-install-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>2.5.2</version>
    <executions>
        <execution>
            <id>tetramap</id>
            <phase>initialize</phase>
            <goals>
                <goal>install-file</goal>
            </goals>
            <configuration>
                <groupId>tetramap</groupId>
                <artifactId>tetramap</artifactId>
                <version>1.0</version>
                <packaging>jar</packaging>
                <file>${project.basedir}/lib/tetraMap-1.0.jar</file>
            </configuration>
        </execution>
    </executions>
</plugin>

<dependency>
 <groupId>tetramap</groupId>
 <artifactId>tetraMap</artifactId>
 <version>1.0</version>
</dependency>

As a result, the downloaded dependency should appear in the repository (user/.m2/repository). the files should appear in the repository. But they are not uploaded to the repository ("tetramap-1.0.jar " and "tetramap-1.0.pom" files and the "maven-metadata-local.xm" file is missing).

Please tell me what I'm doing wrong. I want to see the uploaded files in the repository tetramap-1.0.jar , tetramap-1.0.pom and maven-metadata-local.xml.

More detailed:

I need this in order to create a Docker image for a project with Vaadin and Spring.

My Dockerfile:

FROM openjdk:11-jdk-slim

COPY *.tetra ./
COPY src src
COPY frontend frontend
COPY route route
COPY package.json ./
COPY target/*.jar tetraweb.jar

EXPOSE 8080
ENTRYPOINT ["java", "-jar", "/tetraweb.jar"]

If there are no such files in the user/.m2/repository directory, then when I run the command (creates a Docker image):

sudo docker build . -t tetraweb:latest

And then I run the image in the container


sudo docker run -p 8080:8080 tetraweb:latest

And after that I get an error:

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError:

And if the files are located in the repository (user/.m2/repository) directory, then the Docker image is created correctly with local dependencies.

I tried connecting local dependencies in other ways:

<dependency>
    <groupId>tetramap</groupId>
    <artifactId>tetraMap</artifactId>
    <version>1.0</version>
    <scope>system</scope>
    <systemPath>${project.basedir}/lib/tetraMap-1.0.jar</systemPath>
</dependency>

или

<repository>
    <id>local-repository</id>
    <url>file://${project.basedir}/lib</url>
</repository>

...

<dependency>
    <groupId>tetramap</groupId>
    <artifactId>tetraMap</artifactId>
    <version>1.0</version>
</dependency>

but the result is the same everywhere:


java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError

Please clarify your specific problem or provide additional details to highlight exactly what you need. As it's currently written, it's hard to tell exactly what you're asking. — Community, Jan 30 '23 at 11:06
I have changed the description of the problem. I would be very grateful for help — Алексей Жуков, Jan 31 '23 at 02:28

What's the log output? `install-file` should at least log something. — Frettman, Jan 31 '23 at 08:04

I found a temporary solution

my pom.xml:

<dependencies>
   <dependency>
            <groupId>tetramap</groupId>
            <artifactId>tetraMap</artifactId>
            <version>1.0</version>
            <scope>system</scope>
            <systemPath>${project.basedir}/lib/tetraMap-1.0.jar</systemPath>
   </dependency>
</dependencies>

...

<build>
    <defaultGoal>spring-boot:run</defaultGoal>
    <plugins>
        <plugin>
            <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
            <artifactId>maven-install-plugin</artifactId>
            <executions>
                <execution>
                    <id>inst_1</id>
                    <phase>initialize</phase>
                    <goals>
                        <goal>install-file</goal>
                    </goals>
                    <configuration>
                        <groupId>tetramap</groupId>
                        <artifactId>tetraMap</artifactId>
                        <version>1.0</version>
                        <packaging>jar</packaging>
                        <file>${project.basedir}/lib/tetraMap-1.0.jar</file>
                        <localRepositoryPath>/home/user/.m2/repository</localRepositoryPath>
                    </configuration>
                </execution>
            </executions>
        </plugin>
    </plugins>
</build>

Now if I run a

mvn clean install

My directories in the repository are filled in correctly. I see the downloaded files:

enter image description here

At the moment, there is still a problem with creating a Docker image. If I run the command:

mvn -Pproduction

I see error:

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal com.vaadin:vaadin-maven-plugin:23.2.7:build-frontend (default) on project tetraweb: Could not execute build-frontend goal: Error occured during goal execution: nullPlease run Maven with the -e switch (or Gradle with the --stacktrace switch), to learn the full stack trace. NullPointerException -> [Help 1]
[ERROR] 
[ERROR] To see the full stack trace of the errors, re-run Maven with the -e switch.

[ERROR] 
[ERROR] For more information about the errors and possible solutions, please read the following articles:
[ERROR] [Help 1] http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/MAVEN/MojoFailureException

But if I disable the following code:

<!--            <scope>system</scope>
            <systemPath>${project.basedir}/lib/tetraMap-1.0.jar</systemPath>-->

and I will run the command again:

mvn -Pproduction

In this case, the image creation will be successful

To upload a jar file to the repository, I need the included code:

<scope>system</scope>
                <systemPath>${project.basedir}/lib/tetraMap-1.0.jar</systemPath>

To create a Docker image, this code must be disabled:( That's very strange...
