I'm having problems with a maven dependency which is in my local respository.

SBT can't find it. Already set log level to debug, but not getting anything new.

The files are in the repository. I copy paste paths from the console to file explorer and they are there.

The output:

[debug]          trying file://c:/Users/userz/.m2/repository/com/twitter/naggati/2.0.0/naggati-2.0.0.pom

[debug]                 tried file://c:/Users/userz/.m2/repository/com/twitter/naggati/2.0.0/naggati-2.0.0.pom

[debug]         Local Maven Repository: no ivy file nor artifact found for com.twitter#naggati;2.0.0

Edit: I added the path using scala file in project/build like described in http://code.google.com/p/simple-build-tool/wiki/LibraryManagement

"sbt can search your local Maven repository if you add it as a repository:"

val mavenLocal = "Local Maven Repository" at "file://"+Path.userHome+"/.m2/repository"

That made sbt look in the local repository. Before it didn't.

So the scala file looks like this:

import sbt._

class Foo(info: ProjectInfo) extends DefaultProject(info) {

val mavenLocal = "Local Maven Repository" at "file://c:/Users/userz/.m2/repository"

}

(I hardcoded Path.userHome to exclude possible error reason. As expected it didn't change anything).

Just add this line in the build.scala or build.sbt file

resolvers += Resolver.mavenLocal
