Include local .jar files in dependencies.yml

[DrKarl]

Hi,

How can I include a local .jar file which isn't available in any
repository in dependencies.yml so that when I run play dependencies --
sync it doesn't get deleted?

Thank you.

This issue has been discussed many times :)
for the time being, I don't know any way to do it...
you can install it manually in your local maven repo...
But why do you need to run --sync so often, it should be used scarcely afaik?

On my continuous integration server I always want to sync.
If I delete dependencies they should be also removed for the nightly builds.

The solution I found works well so far and is straight forward.
Just add a local repository to dependencies.yml that points to a path within the application where you store the jars.

require:
  - play
  - play -> googleclosure 1.2
  - provided -> mylib 1.0

repositories:
  - provided:
      type:       local
      descriptor: "${application.path}/../[module]/conf/dependencies.yml"
      artifact:   "${application.path}/jar/[module]-[revision].jar"
      contains:
        - provided -> *

With this type of config just store all the jars in the "jar" folder of the application and add them as dependencies. In the example above the name for the mylib jar must be "mylib-1.0.jar".

I'm using this too, it works like a charm!

I was inspired by looking at the dependencies.yml file in the play directory.

Sorry, just saw that i have left a "descriptor" entry in the dependency.yml which is totally useless.
Here the fixed version:

repositories:
  - provided:
      type:       local

      artifact:   "${application.path}/jar/[module]-[revision].jar"
      contains:
        - provided -> *

yes it's a nice workaround :)
I think a real provided directory could be useful but meanwhile it will work with that!
