Greetings,
I have the following scenario :
1) A .rar file that contains jar files, and some of these jars i need to build my project with. The rar file is setup in the remote repository.
2) As a part of the
Maven build, I need to extract the .rar file, place the contained jars at some location, and then use these jars to compile the project. There are other <dependencies> mentioned in the pom, and these jars should also be used with them while compiling.
3) I used the maven-dependency-plugin to extract the jars from the .rar, to the project build directory, but cannot get Maven to pick them up as dependencies while compiling (even system scope fails).
Please suggest on how to do extract from the rar, take the jars and use them to build, all in the same maven build.
