body: Hi SuHyun Jeon,

The command that you're using install the jar file into the default maven repository.

**mvn install:install-file -DgroupId=com.atlassian.devrel -DartifactId=doclava-theme -Dversion=0.16 -Dpackaging=jar -Dfile=/path/to/file**

The build.sh script that you're using does refer to another repository which is bundle together with the source code. You can see this from the location that you're trying to install for the mail jar.

**.\\maven\\bin\\mvn install:install-file -DgroupId=javax.mail -DartifactId=mail -Dversion=1.x.x -Dpackaging=jar -Dfile=Path/To/mail.jar**

In this case, you're installing it to the to this location .\\maven\\bin\\mvn install . " .\\" means current location which is inside the extrated source code folder.

<br />

You can try to install the jar to the maven repository bundled with the source code. I believe this should solve this issue

**.\\maven\\bin\\mvn install:install-file -DgroupId=com.atlassian.devrel -DartifactId=doclava-theme -Dversion=0.16 -Dpackaging=jar -Dfile=/path/to/file.**

Alternatively, you can put the jar file directly into the correct directory in the maven repository. You just have to create a folder with the name "0.16" if the folder does not exist.

Kind Regards,
