How to add Oracle JDBC driver in your Maven local repository

Due to Oracle license restriction, there is NO public Maven repository provides Oracle JDBC driver. To use Oracle jdbc drive with Maven, you have to install it manually into your Maven local repository.

Here’s a guide to show you how to add an Oracle JDBC driver (“ojdbc6.jar“) into your Maven local repository, and also how to reference it in pom.xml.

1. Get Oracle JDBC Driver

Two ways to get the Oracle jdbc driver :

Oracle.com
Oracle database installed folder, for example, “{ORACLE_HOME}\jdbc\lib\ojdbc6.jar“

2. Install It

To install your Oracle jdbc driver, issue following command :

mvn install:install-file -Dfile={Path/to/your/ojdbc.jar} -DgroupId=com.oracle 
-DartifactId=ojdbc6 -Dversion=11.2.0 -Dpackaging=jar

See following full example :

D:\>mvn install:install-file -Dfile=D:\app\mkyong\product\11.2.0\dbhome_1\jdbc\lib\ojdbc6.jar 
-DgroupId=com.oracle -DartifactId=ojdbc6 -Dversion=11.2.0 -Dpackaging=jar

Done, ojdbc6.jar is installed in your Maven local repository.

3. pom.xml

Now, you can reference it by declares following Oracle details in your pom.xml.

File : pom.xml

<project ...>
 
	<dependencies>>
 
		<!-- ORACLE database driver -->
		<dependency>
			<groupId>com.oracle</groupId>
			<artifactId>ojdbc6</artifactId>
			<version>11.2.0</version>
		</dependency>
 
	</dependencies>
</project>

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

&lt;repositories&gt;
    &lt;repository&gt;
      &lt;id&gt;codelds&lt;/id&gt;
      &lt;url&gt;https://code.lds.org/nexus/content/groups/main-repo&lt;/url&gt;
    &lt;/repository&gt;
  &lt;/repositories&gt;

Hi,
I have the same problem what sajid is facing. Anyting specific, do I need to do?
sajid
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.
