For those of you who work with Java and Maven, is there a way to use relative paths to set up a system scope dependency? I basically have a few dozen modules that rely on similar jars. The jars are in a folder at the same level as the modules and I want Maven to point there rather than having to duplicate the jars multiple times. OR if there's a way to create a jar that contains those jars. I tried yesterday, got things packaged into a larger jar, but Maven didn't seem to recognize everything was bundled in there. I saw the Shade plugin but it expanded everything but my system scope jars.
It took some effort and luck but I got it. Set up a directory as a local repository, installed the jars there. On mvn clean install, they get transferred into .m2/repository. Have to define the dependency in the parent, which I didn't want to have to, but it's the only way to get this going. Also have to build the whole project or none of it will work. It's not pretty but it's also temporary.

Are you stuck with maven? Because I know there's an easier way to include relative paths using gradle

Are there any app developers here?

I'm in the planning stages of starting a new project and one of the user interfaces has to work on a mobile phone.

I'm looking for a cross development framework/solution that works on iPhones and androids. I mainly care about maturity, access to third party libraries within the framework, and size of the developer community

I am. We got told we had to use it and I had enough experience with it to start doing what we needed to do. Just another bit of experience I can draw on in the future. I was doing a similar thing on a side project so when I stop being lazy I can apply it to that.

And as far as your other question, you might be looking for something like React Native (which I'm struggling to get a handle on myself) or maybe Xamarin.

Man I'm sorry to hear that.

Tighten up on the skills and then go after it (or a comparable offer) in six months?

Yeah, its back to the drawing board. Been getting busy on leetcode getting my weight up on algorithm and data structure questions. Dont ever wanna fumble another bag like this.
