[FIXED] Adding external JAR to Maven project in NetBeans

Issue

When I right click on my Maven project and choose the Add dependency option and I type my external jar's name in query, it is not found. How to add external jar to a Maven project?

Solution

You can follow this tutorial: http://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-3rd-party-jars-local.html

Example:

Install the jar to your local maven repository:

mvn install:install-file -Dfile=cxf-2.7.3.jar -DgroupId=org.apache.cxf -DartifactId=cxf-bundle -Dversion=2.7.3 -Dpackaging=jar

Edit the pom.xml file in your project to include the newly added dependency:

<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.cxf</groupId>
<artifactId>cxf-bundle</artifactId>
<version>2.7.3</version>
</dependency>

This should work regardless of the IDE you are using.
