title: What is the correct way to place this JAR in my local repo?
body: <p>I'm using Maven 3.0.3.  Evidently, the Oracle JDBC drivers are not available in a public Maven repo, so I'm reduced to installing it to my local one.  So I created this file</p>
  
  <pre><code>~/.m2/repository/oracle/oracle/10.2.0.3.0/classes12.jar
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I have this in my pom.xml file …</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;dependency&gt;
    &lt;groupId&gt;oracle&lt;/groupId&gt;
    &lt;artifactId&gt;classes12&lt;/artifactId&gt;
    &lt;version&gt;10.2.0.3.0&lt;/version&gt;
  &lt;/dependency&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Yet upon running maven, I'm getting this error.  How do I structure my local repo? - Dave</p>
