How to include jars that cannot be included via pom.xml

[Exnadella]

Hello Team,

We are including a commercial version of .jar package (Transaction manager) via classpath. We cannot build a build packer for this commercial product. How to include these using the buildpacks?

We can use the maven plugin to read the file from a src location, how will the buildpack detect and add the dependency to the image?
How can we integrate this via CI/CD using GithubActions?

Do buildpacks offer any specific plugin to include the mandatory dependencies from a remote source location?

Thanks,
Ranganath.

There are multiple buildpack providers that may or may not support the functionality you desire. Here's a list of suggested buildpack providers (alphabetical):

• Google buildpacks
• Heroku buildpacks
• Paketo buildpacks

If need be, you could always create your own buildpack.

Hi Jromero,

We are using Paketo buildpacks, how to include custom Artifacts into container images which are built using Paketo Buildpacks via Spring Boot maven plugin with a build-image goal.
