Oracle JDBC ojdbc6 Jar as a Maven Dependency

    <dependency>
        <groupId>com.oracle</groupId>
        <artifactId>ojdbc6</artifactId>
        <version>11.2.0</version>
    </dependency>`

The correct answer was supplied by Raghuram in the comments section to my original question.

For whatever reason, pointing "mvn install" to a full path of the physical ojdbc6.jar file didn't work for me. (Or I consistently repeatedly flubbed it up when running the command, but no errors were issued.)

cd-ing into the directory where I keep ojdb6.jar and running the command from there worked the first time.

If Raghuram would like to answer this question, I'll accept his answer instead. Thanks everyone!

For anyone reading this post in the future, you don't need to cd to the directory where the jar is present. Here is what you need to do -

Go to your project folder from where you can run maven commands (When you do an ls -ltr in this folder, you should see pom.xml)

Do this -

mvn install:install-file -DgroupId=com.oracle -DartifactId=ojdbc6 -Dversion=11.2.0.3 -Dpackaging=jar -Dfile=<Path where the jar is, example downloads>/ojdbc6.jar -DgeneratePom=true

Once this is done, you can add the dependency in your pom.xml, something like this -

    <dependency>
        <groupId>com.oracle</groupId>
        <artifactId>ojdbc6</artifactId>
        <version>11.2.0.3</version>
    </dependency>

It is better to add new Maven repository (preferably using your own artifactory) to your project instead of installing it to your local repository.

Maven syntax:

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.oracle</groupId>
    <artifactId>ojdbc6</artifactId>
    <version>11.2.0.3</version>
</dependency>
... 
<repositories>
    <repository>
      <id>codelds</id>
      <url>https://code.lds.org/nexus/content/groups/main-repo</url>
    </repository>
  </repositories>

Grails example:

mavenRepo "https://code.lds.org/nexus/content/groups/main-repo"
build 'com.oracle:ojdbc6:11.2.0.3'
