| Installing an artifact to a specific local repository path |
| |
| General information about how to copy jars into your local repository can be found in the |
| {{{http://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-3rd-party-jars-local.html}Guide to installing 3rd party JARs}} |
| |
| By default, the Apache Maven Install Plugin uses the local repository defined in the <<<settings.xml>>> to install an artifact. |
| |
| You could install an artifact on a specific local repository by setting the <<<localRepositoryPath>>> |
| parameter when installing. |
| |
| +---+ |
| mvn ${project.groupId}:${project.artifactId}:${project.version}:install-file -Dfile=path-to-your-artifact-jar \ |
| -DgroupId=your.groupId \ |
| -DartifactId=your-artifactId \ |
| -Dversion=version \ |
| -Dpackaging=jar \ |
| -DlocalRepositoryPath=path-to-specific-local-repo |
| +---+ |
| |
| <<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. |
