jars

Add custom jars under "\WEB-INF\lib" in a Maven project

The answer is a lot simpler than you think. But before we explore the answer, I should warn you that this approach is not what is recommended by Maven.

In Maven, you can take each of your jars\libraries and add them to your local repository and then include them as needed in your projects. If you want to go the proper route here’s how you do it.
