Example 1. Updating a file

In order to update a file with these characteristics:

File: util-lib.jar
GroupId: com.utils
ArtifactId: util-lib
Version: 1.0
Path to this repository: c:\maven2-repository

Call:

mvn deploy:deploy-file -DgroupId=com.utils -DartifactId=util-lib -Dversion=1.0 -Dfile=util-lib.jar -Drepo.path=c:/maven2-repository -DrepositoryId=internal.repo -Durl=file://c:/maven2repository

The file deploy-file-to-github.launch can be imported in the Eclipse IDE launch configurations to help with this procedure.

To deploy the current project, call:

mvn deploy -Drepo.path=c:/maven2-repository -DrepositoryId=internal.repo
