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:4.0.0-beta-1: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.
