I am working on converting websphere portal project to maven framework for CI build. I am wondering if there is a way to reference websphere jars other than via dependencies in pom.xml and loading them all to maven repository? I cannot imagine loading them ALL to the repository... Please advice! Thanks!

When using Maven, it is advisable that all dependent jars are installed in the repository. Even Websphere ones.

Ideally a corporate repository will come in handy here, so that you keep a separate repository for all the Websphere jars accessible to all the users in your project. See http://maven.apache.org/repository-management.html for more.

If this is not an option, then use the local file repository explained on a previous questions - here.

You'll still need to add each dependency in POM.

if you have a lot of projects that require this, you can also create a parent pom that would have all the dependencies so your project/module/portlet poms are cleaner.
