Maven recovery

[jmcgill]

I have a project that was built with maven, but it depends on a bunch of
libraries that are no longer available from the specified locations.

I have all the jars that would be needed to build the project, but I
don't know how to tell maven to look in a local directory, instead of
in repositories identified by URL, for all the various artifacts. What
I *really* want to do is just tell maven to use all the jars found in a
particular directory, instead of having to specify each one by artifact
name, version, and location.

Help?

You didn't say whether you mean Maven1 or Maven2.

If you use Maven2, check this page
http://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-installing-3rd-party-jars.html

I believe that Maven1 is not very different.
