Install an xml file
This may be an off the wall question, but I need to copy an xml file after an
install. I tried the maven dependency plugin, but it appeared to want the
file installed as a dependency. So I tried to install it using:
mvn install:install-file -Dfile=c:/test/foo-bar.xml
-DgroupId=catalina.context -DartifactId=foo-bar -Dgenerate-pom=true
-DlocalRepositoryId=local
But that throws and error:
Missing group, artifact, version, or packaging information
The documentation on install does not show an example of installing a
non-jar type file. Can text files be installed into a repository? Is there a
better way to accomplish this?
If you are curious as to why I want to do this, I am using GWT and in
non-server mode tomcat will whack the context file when maven does a clean
on my project. So I want to copy this file back to tomcat after each build.

The error message is accurate. You are missing required fields.
Add -Dversion=1.0 and -Dpackaging=xml to the install line.
Also, I'm pretty sure you want -DgeneratePom.
