Maven dependencies for Clojure libraries on GitHub

I'm developing some applications in Clojure + Java using Eclipse and Maven with m2eclipse.

This works great when my dependencies are in a Maven repository. However there are some libraries that I would like to use that aren't in any repository - e.g. small open source Clojure libraries hosted on GitHub.

These projects typically have a build.xml or a project.clj but not a pom.xml.

Is there a any way to set up Maven to handle these dependencies automatically? Or do I need to manually download and build all of these?

Solution

  • Unfortunately no, you'll either have to:

    • find a repository containing those libraries
    • manually add these to your repository using mvn install (and if you're kind enough, ask for those to be published in the central maven repo)
    • ask the developers if they would be so kind to propose a mavenized version and publish it in some maven repository
