Question

My objective is to install a jar file in a Maven repository. This post explains how to do an install with MVN.

But but since I have Maven embedded in Eclipse, I don’t know where to run the following command:

mvn install:install-file  -Dfile=C:\lib\rest\WadlGenerator.jar \
                          -DgroupId=foo.in.shop.rest.wadl \
                          -DartifactId=WadlGenerator \
                          -Dversion=1.0 \
                          -Dpackaging=jar \
                          -DlocalRepositoryPath=C:\maven\repositories\internal

In short: How can I identify the Maven installation directory for Eclipse-embedded Maven?

Answer 1

From eclipse you can do:

Run -> Run Configurations -> Maven Build (double click)

Your goal is install:install-file

And also you should fill parameters’ keys and values

P. S. But I think that it is more better to have external maven installation in system
