| Generating a generic POM |
| |
| There are times when you do not have a POM for a 3rd party artifact. |
| For instance, when installing a proprietary or commercial JAR into a repository. |
| The Install Plugin can create a generic POM in this case which |
| contains the minimal set of POM elements required by Maven, such as groupId, |
| artifactId, version, packaging. You tell Maven to generate a POM by setting the |
| <<<generatePom>>> parameter to <<<true>>>. |
| |

| mvn install:install-file -Dfile=path-to-your-artifact-jar \ |
| -DgroupId=your.groupId \ |
| -DartifactId=your-artifactId \ |
| -Dversion=version \ |
| -Dpackaging=jar \ |
| -DgeneratePom=true |
