Code:
The syntax of the command is a bit tricky. For example: ln -s oldfile newfile links the
previously existing oldfile to the newly created link, newfile.

in your case there are no newfile name you must put it.

build-jar-repository

BUILD-JAR-REPOSITORY(1) 					   User Commands					   BUILD-JAR-REPOSITORY(1)

NAME

       build-jar-repository - create a symbolic link to a JAR

SYNOPSIS

       build-jar-repository [OPTION]... DIRECTORY... JAR

DESCRIPTION

       Build a JAR repository in the named directory by copying files or creating symbolic links

OPTIONS

       If no option is specified the default action will be to create symbolic links

       -c, --copy
	      copy files

       -h, --hard
	      create hard links

       -p, --preserve-naming
	      try  to  preserve  the  names  of  the original JAR files (in case of a nested hit the slashes in the path will still be replaced by
	      underscores)

	      using this option makes any future automated repository rebuild impossible, and implies -c unless specified otherwise

       -s, --soft, --symbolic
	      create symbolic links (default)

       --help
	      display help text

EXAMPLES

       build-jar-repository . jndi
	      will create a symbolic link to the JNDI JAR in the current working directory

       build-jar-repository -h /tmp oro
	      will create a hard link to the ORO JAR in /tmp
