I have started configuring Jenkins with my project. I made sure to install the sqljdbc driver in my local repository first:
$>mvn install:install-file -Dfile=sqljdbc4-4.0.jar -DgroupId=com.microsoft.sqlserver -DartifactId=sqljdbc4 -Dversion=4.0 -Dpackaging=jar
I can see the jar has apparently been installed successfully at:
C:\Users\ me \.m2\repository\com\microsoft\sqlserver\sqljdbc4\4.0
This is what the pom relevant parts looks like:
<sqljdbc4.version>4.0</sqljdbc4.version>
<dependency>
<groupId>com.microsoft.sqlserver</groupId>
<artifactId>sqljdbc4</artifactId>
<version>${sqljdbc4.version}</version>
</dependency>
However when I try to build the project from jenkins I get:
Executing Maven: -B -f C:\Program Files (x86)\Jenkins\jobs\Build Solutions Project\workspace\pom.xml install
[INFO] Scanning for projects...

I'm not sure why it's not looking in my local repository first.
I also set under "configure" > "Maven Project Configuration":
Local Maven Repository Default (~/.m2/repository)
I restarted the Jenkins service too.
I am not sure how to proceed from here.
I know I could use nexus, but I don't really need it at this stage.
Maven version: 3.0.5
I managed to solve it. Since it was building correctly checking out the repository and using maven from the command line, I figured Jenkins was using a different configuration to resolve the repository, so I explicitly added:
C:/Users/me/.m2/repository
into maven's "setting.xml".
Not sure if it's the most elegant solution but at least it works now.
