I'm using intellij with tomcat server to deploy my spring mvc application, i have another 3-th party jars (10) that i would like to add them to the war file while packing it with maven, is there a way to tell maven -> Include all these jars in this folder?

    Don't do that - it's not really what Maven is for. List each jar separately and get them from maven central or somwewhere similar, not your hard-drive. Your approach won't work in a team and won't work for future developers. If you don't have a team, don't care about the future, and don't want to follow the standard maven way of doing things, then perhaps you shouldn't be using maven. – Software Engineer May 20 '16 at 16:47
  • the problem is that i'm using eBay SDK, i did not find it in any repo beside ebay releases. – USer22999299 May 20 '16 at 19:32

There's no option to include every jar in a folder,if you want to include individual jar's from the file system: 

<dependency>
          <groupId>sun.jdk</groupId>
          <artifactId>tools</artifactId>
          <version>1.5.0</version>
          <scope>system</scope>
          <systemPath>${java.home}/../lib/tools.jar</systemPath>
        </dependency>

see: Maven: System Dependencies

    You should always avoid using system dependencies like this, they're not portable and will usually not work for a team. – Software Engineer May 20 '16 at 16:44
  • Still have the problem, while building the project and run it with tomcat, seems like maven is not copying the jars files into the target\xxx-sanpshot\web-inf\lib folder, only while copying the files manually it works, any other solution how to make maven to copy the jars files to target folder? – USer22999299 May 23 '16 at 10:08

    In that case see here [Maven 2 assembly with dependencies: jar under scope “system” not included](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2065928/maven-2-assembly-with-dependencies-jar-under-scope-system-not-included), probably you will end up with @EngineerDollery suggestion (install dependencies in local repository!!!) – KlajdPaja May 23 '16 at 10:24
  • I was doing that, created a local repo, deploy the external jars into the @KLajdPaja local repo folder, but while deploying the war file, i cant see the eBay jars in the nested lib folder under target ( i can see all of the spring jars there) only while manually copying the jar files to the lib folder it is working, any idea how can i force maven to pack the local repo into the war file? – USer22999299 May 24 '16 at 07:44
  • That's weird because maven for generated wars copy's all dependencies unless scope is defined as provided – KlajdPaja May 24 '16 at 07:48

The ebay SDK is on bintray

<dependency>
  <groupId>com.ebay</groupId>
  <artifactId>sdk</artifactId>
  <version>883</version>
  <type>pom</type>
</dependency>
