             Summary: Enhance documentation of install-file
                 Key: MINSTALL-95
                 URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MINSTALL-95
             Project: Maven 2.x Install Plugin
          Issue Type: Improvement
    Affects Versions: 2.4
            Reporter: Stephen Colebourne
            Priority: Minor


When you want to install a pre-built third party jar file into a local repo google will [point you|https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=maven+install+artifact&ie=utf-8] at these pages:
* http://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-3rd-party-jars-local.html
* http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-install-plugin/examples/specific-local-repo.html

Neither of these pages explains what to do if you have a pom that you want to deploy as well as the jar file. The right answer is already documented here:
* http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-install-plugin/examples/custom-pom-installation.html

Please enhance the documentation in two ways:
* enhance the [mini-guide|http://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-3rd-party-jars-local.html] to include an example with a pom
* enhance the [plugin guides|http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-install-plugin/examples/specific-local-repo.html] to provide cross-links between the individual pages. ie, after the example at links along the lines of "if you want to install a pom as well click here" etc.
