| Installing an artifact with a custom POM |
| |
| The Apache Maven Install Plugin can include a pre-built custom POM with the artifact |
| in the local repository. Just set the value of the <<<pomFile>>> parameter |
| to the path of the custom POM. |
| |
| +---+ |
| mvn ${project.groupId}:${project.artifactId}:${project.version}:install-file -Dfile=path-to-your-artifact-jar -DpomFile=path-to-pom |
| +---+ |
| |
| If the JAR was built by Apache Maven, it'll contain a pom.xml in a subfolder of the META-INF directory, which will be read by default. In that case, all you need to do is: |
| |
| +---+ |
| mvn ${project.groupId}:${project.artifactId}:${project.version}:install-file -Dfile=<path-to-file> |
| +---+ |
| |
| <<Note>>: By using the fully qualified path of a goal, you're ensured to be using the preferred version of the maven-install-plugin. When using <<<mvn install:install-file>>> |
| its version depends on its specification in the pom or the version of Apache Maven. |
