Abstract
This chapter describes how to install some artifacts into your local Maven repository. Follow the steps in this chapter if you want to build the sister projects from source, or want to contribute back to the sister projects.
Generally speaking all Maven artifacts are automatically downloads
from the Maven central
repo (though note that all the sister projects also release to
the Sister
projects Maven repo). However, some artifacts must be manually
installed or built, either because they haven't been formally released
or because there are licensing restrictions preventing them from being
hosted in the repository. These must therefore be downloaded and
manually installed into your local repository
(~/.m2/repository) .
The sister projects currently use the JIMI jar to generate documentation. Therefore:
Download the jimi jar file. You’ll find
it within the JimiProClasses.zip downloadable
from the Jimi
project page.
Install into your local Maven repository using:
mvn install:install-file \
-D groupId=com.java \
-D artifactId=jimi \
-D version=1.0 \
-D packaging=jar \
-D file=/path/to/jimi.jar
