----------------------------------------

             Summary: Very quick clarification of using maven-install-plugin:2.5 for installing 3rd party jars
                 Key: MNGSITE-320
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNGSITE-320
             Project: Maven Project Web Site
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Sorin Postelnicu


A recurring question which I saw is about this documentation page:
http://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-3rd-party-jars-local.html

In the last paragraph it says:
{quote}
With version 2.5 of the maven-install-plugin it gets even better. If the JAR was built by Apache Maven, it'll contain a pom.xml in a subfolder of the META-INF directory, which will be read by default. In that case, all you need to do is:
mvn install:install-file -Dfile=<path-to-file>
{quote}

But when running even the latest version of Maven (3.5.2), by default it is still using version 2.4 of maven-install-plugin
And it is not at all obvious for a new Maven user: how to use the mentioned feature of version 2.5 of the maven-install-plugin ?

Could someone please edit the last line of this documentation page, and instead of this:
{code}
    mvn install:install-file -Dfile=<path-to-file>
{code}
please replace it with this:
{code}
    mvn org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-install-plugin:2.5.2:install-fi‌​le -Dfile=<path-to-jar-file>
{code}
