mvn install to a given local repo path - broken with m3?
I'm trying to install a project to a given local repository path instead
of the default ~/.m2, and it just doesn't seem to work with m3 and
install-plugin 2.3.1. No matter which property I specify (all I could
find, with or without settings. or maven. prefixes :) it always installs
to the default.
Can anybody confirm whether this works or is broken with m3?
Note that I'm talking about the regular install goal, not install-file,
which was apparently fixed at some earlier point.
Grateful for any hints.
Holger

Oh. As usual, it does help if you tell us what you're trying to do. ;)
You could probably abuse the assembly plugin and set its output
directory "somewhere else".
Really you're best off building a distribution, (.tar.gz, zip) putting
it in the repository, then retrieving it from there and installing it
where you want.

That sounds like you want to do a deploy instead of an install

No, since that one is nowhere (I could find..) documented :-)
It does seem to stick (so the mechanism does work!), but is not really
what I was looking for, because now the repo location is also populated with all
dependencies and plugins..which is correct from a Maven POV but not what I
wanted. :)
For context - I'm trying to install only the generated artifacts of a
multi-module build "somewhere else" and was hoping I could do without an
explicit copy step.
thanks!

Have you tried -Dmaven.repo.local=... ?

I don't know where you read that -DlocalRepository overrided the local
repository path, but I don't think this has ever worked. As Wendy says, use
-Dmaven.repo.local

No, I'm doing the much more obvious :-) and try to pass the repo path into
the comand line invocation. Sorry for not being more clear.
To reproduce, take any project and run:
mvn install -DlocalRepository=/some/path
..which is happily ignored and the project is installed into the default
location (or whatever is defined in settings.xml). But changing the
settings won't work as this is supposed to be part of an automated build.
The -D value never sticks, regardless of position in the command line or
platform (tested on Windows and Linux). A trace with -X always shows the
default local repository being used by the install plugin.
thanks

Hi, Holger,
you aren't writing how you do specify the "local repository path". My
assumption would be that you need to use the Maven option -s or
--settings and use the "localRepository" element in the given settings
file, as specified by the settings XSD. [1] Is that what you are
doing?
