Deploy an artifact in legacy layout
"Legacy" is the layout used in maven 1 repositories while maven 2 uses "default". They are different in terms of directory structure, timestamp of snapshots in default and existence of metadata files in default.
- legacy layout directory structure:
groupId |--artifactId |--jars `--artifact
- default layout directory structure:
groupId |--artifactId |--version | `---artifact |---metadata
In able to deploy an artifact in a legacy layout of repository, set the repositoryLayout parameter to
legacy
value.mvn org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-deploy-plugin:3.1.3:deploy-file -Durl=file:///C:/m2-repo \ -DrepositoryId=some.id \ -Dfile=your-artifact-1.0.jar \ -DpomFile=your-pom.xml \ -DrepositoryLayout=legacy
Note: By using the fully qualified path of a goal, you're ensured to be using the preferred version of the maven-deploy-plugin. When using
mvn deploy:deploy-file
its version depends on its specification in the pom or the version of Apache Maven.
