I am building custom Ant tasks in Eclipse for Rational Team Concert ant builds. I have the build toolkit in my development environment and I'm using Maven as my build tool.
I really don't want to add the toolkit jar files to my repository;
How would you store such an artifact?
Those jars are part of their "All downloads" pages, so:
If you don't want to store that jar in a dedicated artifact in your local Nexus referential, you can at least store the url from which you can re-download that jar if/when needed.
That url can be stored in any text file you want, said text file being versioned like any other source file of your project.
It is a declarative approach, one where you declared what you use (a bit like a pom.xml declared the dependencies it needs)
