The following image shows the architecture of the User Libraries repository.
To download and install specific third-party Java libraries or database drivers
that are needed by Talend Studio, you need
to connect to the User Libraries repository and its
embedded repository named talend-custom-libs-release.
When Talend Studio opens,
the external libraries missing from the local talend-custom-libs-release
repository are detected. You are prompted to download them from the remote artifact
repository, hosted by Talend, and
install them.
Because you configure the local artifact repository to connect to Talend Management Console, the installed libraries are shared automatically with all Talend Studio users.
