Using the .m2 directory for deployment
Hi,
I am looking into possible deployment strategies with maven to support the
current project I'm working on. One strategy I am thinking about is to use
the .m2 for deployment as well as the development environment. I have not
seen anyone else talk of using the .m2 for deployment purposes and was
hoping that I could get a good understanding of why. One benefit I foresee
is having the same environment used for both the development and runtime
environment. Any thoughts are much appreciated.
Thanks,
Steve

Hello,
Actually Karaf (OSGi) can watch and deploy bundles directly from the/a local repository. This means it will pick up artifacts as soon as they are locally installed. This works fine for quick turn-arounds in dev environments. I am not so sure if it is a good idea for production deployments (especially if it would need to watch a larger number of artifacts).
Gruss
Bernd

Typically you should never access the local Maven repo directly, but use
Maven (or a Maven lib) for that. It would then handle download of any
dependency missing etc.
I think you're trying to do something "clever" by bypassing Maven and/or
the idea of Maven repositories. It could work, but you could very well run
into issues. One such issue is when people used to Maven assume you're
doing it in some way, but in fact you're doing it some other way.
I suggest that you follow Maven's best-practices and create a remote repo
where you deploy your artifacts. The during deployment you download from
there. A repository manager is more a less a must today and will give you
lots of other benefits (audit, auth, etc.).

Thanks for the response Anders! My question is would you ever use your local .m2/repository for you deployment since that in theory should contain all of your dependencies? Do you foresee any issues with doing this?
Thanks,
Steve

The .m2/repository folder i a local Maven repository, which is local for one machine. What you want to do is to deploy (Maven lingo for publish) to a repository manager (such as Nexus och Artifactory for example). You deployment script/system can then download from the repo manager and perform the deployment.

The .m2/repository folder i a local Maven repository, which is local for
one machine. What you want to do is to deploy (Maven lingo for publish) to
a repository manager (such as Nexus och Artifactory for example). You
deployment script/system can then download from the repo manager and
