Overview

The install plugin copies artifacts into the local repository (the deploy plugin copies artifacts into a remote repository). It uses the information in the POM (groupId, artifactId, version) to determine the proper location for the artifact within the local repository. It can also be used as a detached tool to copy arbitrary files into the repository.

Examples

Install Arbitrary Files as Binaries and Sources

mvn install:install-file -DgroupId=my.group -DartifactId=my-file -Dversion=1.0 -Dpackaging=jar -Dfile=./my-file.jar
mvn install:install-file -DgroupId=my.group -DartifactId=my-file -Dversion=1.0 -Dpackaging=jar -Dclassifier=sources -Dfile=./my-file-src.jar
