By default, 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 install:install-file -Dfile=path-to-your-artifact-jar \ -DgroupId=your.groupId \ -DartifactId=your-artifactId \ -Dversion=version \ -Dpackaging=jar \ -DlocalRepositoryPath=path-to-specific-local-repo
