How to add external folder that contains multiple jars into maven build for web application?

Question

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?

Answer 1

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>
