Hi!

I'm getting build errors for for my Maven enabled project related to the Hibernate extension. - It's a very basic app, and I was able to solve this issue on my Linux box by manually installing some required artifacts:

mvn install:install-file -DgroupId=javassist -DartifactId=javassist 
-Dversion=3.9.0 -Dpackaging=jar -Dfile=foo.jar

That worked out (Hibernate as a set of required deps).

But in case of Windows things are different. How do I add the dependencies manually to Maven on Windows?

    1) org.hibernate:hibernate:jar:3.3.2

      Try downloading the file manually from the project website.

      Then, install it using the command: 
          mvn install:install-file -DgroupId=org.hibernate -DartifactId=hibernate -Dversion=3.3.2 
-Dpackaging=jar -Dfile=/path/to/file

   2) javassist:javassist:jar:3.9.0

Can I automate this cumbersome manual dependency installation for my coworkers on their Windows machines? Are there any helpful tools or GUI that can perform these tasks? The best way would be that Maven does it all automatically. I'm not too familiar with it jet.

Thanks for answers.
