Maven: use install-file goal with altDeploymentRepository

Question

Just a simple question here.

I've tried:

mvn install:install-file 
-DaltDeploymentRepository=../releases 
-Dfile=gcm-server.jar
-Dsources=gcm-server-sources.jar
-DgroupId=com.google.android.gcm
-DartifactId=gcm-server
-Dversion=1.0.2
-DpomFile=gcm.pom
-Dpackaging=jar
-DcreateChecksum=true

But i got the following:

[INFO] --- maven-install-plugin:2.3.1:install-file (default-cli) @ standalone-pom ---
[INFO] Installing /home/sebastien/Bureau/gcm-server-repository/deployer/gcm-server.jar to /home/sebastien/.m2/repository/com/google/android/gcm/gcm-server/1.0.2/gcm-server-1.0.2.jar

Is there a way to install file to an alternative local maven repository? I've checked the install:install-file but it doesn't mention the installation of the files to an alternative repository. Is it even possible, or i will need to move the files myself from one repository to another?

Thanks

Answer 1

Just add -Dmaven.repo.local=path-to-alternate-repo

e.g.

-Dmaven.repo.local=/tmp/myrepo
