Just add a build step that does "mvn deploy" or similar. > Dare I ask what I'm missing having chosen the full-fat option..? If you're asking what you cannot do with freeform jobs: I don't know of anything. I think the Maven-style job is just a convenience to get very basic CI set up as quickly as possible, for people without much technical know-how. If you're asking for more details on limitations of the Maven-style job: it's been awhile, but IIRC my group had several problems. One such was that the Jenkins Git plugin did not fire Maven-style jobs upon receiving the push notification from GitHub. Another really serious problem is that you can't add arbitrary shell script as a post-build step. And needing to do this is, in my experience, extremely common. It wouldn't be that big of an issue if there were an easy way to later "convert" a Maven-style job to a freestyle job should the need arise. But try a web search on that topic and you'll see what I mean about it being a highly non-trivial problem.
