### Welcome! You have reached the `libs` folder!
#### Adding new dependencies
Run the following command (replacing the placeholder first of course!):
```console
mvn deploy:deploy-file -DgroupId=[GROUP-ID] -DartifactId=[ARTIFACT-ID] -Dversion=[VERSION] -Durl=file:. -DrepositoryId=local-maven-repo -DupdateReleaseInfo=true -Dfile=[THE-JAR-FILE]
```
#### Updating dependencies
Just do the same procedure as in "Adding new dependencies", but with a new version number!
You can also safely delete the old version of the dependency, as nothing will depend on it anymore.
#### Why the suffix `bcv`?
Some dependencies may have been modified or could be released by their author in the future. To avoid confusion and dependency clashes in the local repository, the suffix is a nice way to ensure, the right dependency is used in every project (`bcv` = `ByteCode Viewer` btw).
