Installing Oracle Jdbc Driver to local Maven Repository

Database 

Since Oracle does not provide Oracle JDBC driver in a public maven repository, we have to download it and install to the local Maven repository (.m2 directory).

You can get the driver from here. Download ojdbc7.jar file. Let's say we have saved ojdbc7.jar at following location:

D:\ora-jdbc-driver>dir /b
ojdbc7.jar

Now run the following maven command to install the jar to local repository:

 mvn install:install-file -Dfile=ojdbc7.jar
                          -DgroupId=com.oracle
                          -DartifactId=ora-jdbc
                          -Dversion=7
                          -Dpackaging=jar

D:\ora-jdbc-driver>mvn install:install-file -Dfile=ojdbc7.jar -DgroupId=com.oracle -DartifactId=ora-jdbc -Dversion=7 -Dpackaging=jar
