Create a Maven Repository for Your Company (Optional step)

If you don't have access to maven.escenic.com, then you need to configure your own maven repository.

When using Widget Framework for development, each developer can either create his/her own local Maven repository on their machines or you may set up one for all the developers to use. Regardless of having a local repository or one that is accessible by everyone, it allows you to depend on the desired version of the desired widgets in your publication POM.

In this section, we will explain how to set up a company Maven repository with all the Widget Framework artifacts. The steps involved are simple:

1. Install a web server

2. Populate it with the Widget Framework Artifacts

3. Configure your development/build environments to use your own repository.
