Upload Artifacts using Maven “deploy-file” Deployment

Example without a pom file:

mvn deploy:deploy-file -DgroupId=com.somecompany -DartifactId=project -Dversion=1.0.0 -DgeneratePom=true -Dpackaging=jar -DrepositoryId=nexus -Durl=http://localhost:8081/nexus/content/repositories/releases -Dfile=target/project-1.0.0.jar

With a pom file:

mvn deploy:deploy-file -DgroupId=com.somecompany -DartifactId=project -Dversion=1.0.0 -DgeneratePom=false -Dpackaging=jar -DrepositoryId=nexus -Durl=http://localhost:8081/nexus/content/repositories/releases -DpomFile=pom.xml -Dfile=target/project-1.0.0.jar

With a Zip file:

> mvn deploy:deploy-file -DgroupId=com.fanniemae.securitiesprocessor -DartifactId=sp_adapter_mbs -Dversion=0.0.1-SNAPSHOT -Dpackaging=zip -Dfile=sp_adapter.zip -DrepositoryId=deployment -Durl=http://nexus-server:8081/nexus/content/repositories/snapshots/

Note: You need to update your setting.xml with following. where as The “repositoryId” parameter is not a Nexus repository ID, it is the ID of a server section in your settings.xml file which has then credentials needed for deployment.

<id>nexus</id>

<username>deployment</username>

<password>deployment123</password>

</server>

</servers>
