maven install jar for later use in war

[Jason Thiel]

I thave a jar that i build and then use in a war.

Here is what my tasks look like:

1. mvn package the jar.

2. mvn install the jar.

3. mvn package the war.

It fails to find the .jar that was installed.

Here is my install command:

install:install-file -Dfile=/JpaDataRepository/target/JpaDataRepository-.1.jar -DgroupId=com.fi360.mercury.repository -DartifactId=JpaDataRepository -Dversion=.1 -Dpackaging=jar

Here is the POM for the war:

<dependency>

<groupId>com.fi360.mercury.repository</groupId>

<artifactId>JpaDataRepository</artifactId>

<version>.1</version>

</dependency>

Here is the error:

Could not find artifact com.fi360.mercury.repository:JpaDataRepository:jar:.1 in central (http://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2)</span<>>

This builds fine in mvn alone, i think there is a problem with the install or the use of the .jar.

The leading / in my install:install-file was incorrect.
