Deploy an artifact in legacy layout

  "Legacy" is the layout used in maven 1 repositories while maven 2 uses "default". They are different
  in terms of directory structure, timestamp of snapshots in default and existence of metadata files in default.

  * legacy layout directory structure:

+---+
  groupId
  |--artifactId
     |--jars
        `--artifact
+---+

  * default layout directory structure:

+---+
  groupId
  |--artifactId
     |--version
     |  `---artifact
     |---metadata
+---+

  In able to deploy an artifact in a legacy layout
  of repository, set the <<repositoryLayout>> parameter to <<<legacy>>> value.

+---+
mvn deploy:deploy-file -Durl=file:///C:/m2-repo \
                       -DrepositoryId=some.id \
                       -Dfile=your-artifact-1.0.jar \
                       -DpomFile=your-pom.xml \
                       -DrepositoryLayout=legacy
