Hi, I have following tag in pom.xml , since the jstl.jar does not have any version, I have not used version tag, but the build fails and asks for version.
how to handle this situtation? shall i rename the jstl.jar to jstl-someversion.jar and add version tag? or there is better option?

Yes, Maven requires that you specify the version of the dependency.

shall i rename the jstl.jar to jstl-someversion.jar and add version tag?



You need not rename it. It can continue to be jstl.jar. But to use it in your project that jar needs to be available as a Maven artifact in some repository. Maven internally will scan the artifact for metadata to check for the version of the jar.

It looks like you're point maven central repo at:

file:\\1.1.1.1\repository

Is that a valid URL for your version of central? I suspect not...

Yes, but that's where it's trying to get the files from, if 1.1.1.1 doesn't exist (it seems like a really weird IP address to me) then it's not going to find it.

Ah I see now

OK, can you navigate to:

file:\\<The real ip address>\repository/jstl/jdbc2_0-stdext/1.0.6/

In your web browser/File Browser, that will double check you have permissions and that the folder structure is correct (notice that you are using '/' and '\')

yes i have the permission and it works if i append -1.0.6 to the name of jar file, but if i remove the vesion then it fails since maven tries to download it with version as shown in following error message

[WARNING] Unable to get resource from repository lis-repository (file:\\1.1.1.1\repository)
Downloading: http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/jstl/jdbc2_0-stdext/1.0.6/jdbc2_0-stdext-1.0.6.jar

Just to be clear, if you _add_ the '-1.0.6' to the name of the jar file it works? In thatr case, that is correct maven behaviour, it expects to find a dfile with the version number in the file name.
