Here’s a guide to show you how to add an Oracle JDBC driver into your Maven local repository, and also how to reference it in pom.xml.
Note
Due to Oracle license restrictions, the Oracle JDBC driver is not available in the public Maven repository. To use the Oracle JDBC driver with Maven, you have to download and install it manually into your Maven local repository.
Due to Oracle license restrictions, the Oracle JDBC driver is not available in the public Maven repository. To use the Oracle JDBC driver with Maven, you have to download and install it manually into your Maven local repository.
1. Get Oracle JDBC Driver
Two ways to get the Oracle jdbc driver :
1. Visit Oracle website to get the Oracle JDBC driver – ojdbc6.jar or ojdbc7.jar
2. Not recommend, but you can get the JDBC driver from the Oracle database installed folder, for example – {ORACLE_HOME}\jdbc\lib\ojdbc6.jar
2. Maven Install
To install the Oracle jdbc drivers :
2.1 ojdbc6.jar
$ mvn install:install-file -Dfile={Path/to/your/ojdbc6.jar}
-DgroupId=com.oracle -DartifactId=ojdbc6 -Dversion=11.2.0 -Dpackaging=jar
2.2 ojdbc7.jar
$ mvn install:install-file -Dfile={Path/to/your/ojdbc7.jar}
-DgroupId=com.oracle -DartifactId=ojdbc7 -Dversion=12.1.0 -Dpackaging=jar
Full example to install a ojdbc7.jar
Terminal
> mvn install:install-file -Dfile=C:\\OracleJDBC\\ojdbc7.jar
-DgroupId=com.oracle -DartifactId=ojdbc7 -Dversion=12.1.0 -Dpackaging=jar

I want to recommend you’re an exellent resource, thanks mkyong !!
Thank you, you saved me.
Thank you very much
Thanks so much dude! All your work are so great! Keep it up! :D
Great!!
If you want ojdbc, What you can do is download the ojdbc6.jar and include it as a “Web App Libraries” by Right Clicking your project and select java build path and under Libraries select Add external jars and select the location to the jar that you have downloaded (ojdbc6.jar).
Please not this instruction is given for Eclipse.

Hi mkyong…
the jdbc driver jar is not getting installed in m2 repository when i am executing the command ..
mvn install:install-file -Dfile=C:\app\msarilla\product\11.2.0\dbhome_2\jdbc\lib\ojdbc6.jar -DgroupId=com.oracle – DartifactId=ojdbc6 -Dversion=11.2.0 -Dpackaging=jar -DgeneratePom=true
when i execute the command the build was successful but the ojdbc6 file is not installed to the m2 repo.
i am getting the following message in the build console:
[INFO] Installing C:\apache-maven-3.0.4\bin\ojdbc6.jar to C:\Users\msarilla\.m2\
repository\com\oracle\ojdbc6\11.2.0\ojdbc6-11.2.0.jar
[DEBUG] Skipped re-installing C:\apache-maven-3.0.4\bin\ojdbc6.jar to C:\Users\m
sarilla\.m2\repository\com\oracle\ojdbc6\11.2.0\ojdbc6-11.2.0.jar, seems unchang
ed..
from the above messages i can see that the jar installation is skipped coz its already there..but actually there is no ojdbc6 jar…
any suggestions…
why not simply add the following repository to your project
<repositories> <repository> <id>codelds</id> <url>https://code.lds.org/nexus/content/groups/main-repo</url> </repository> </repositories>Thank you! You helped me out ^_^
Hi,
I have the same problem what sajid is facing. Anyting specific, do I need to do?
Hi, i completed the steps above, but still facing ‘Missing artifact com.oracle:ojdbc6:jar:11.2.0.3:compile’.
Also, after step 2, i think the jar file should be automatically placed in repository, but it doesnt happen and i can see only _maven.repositories, ojdbc6-11.2.0.3.pom and ojdbc6-11.2.0.3.jar.lastUpdated. Is there anything that i am missing.
Thanks.
sajid
This and other pages you have put are excellent. Very practical and clear–real time-savers. Thank you.
This article is nice and simple to understand.
