Witold Markowski commented on MINSTALL-156: ------------------------------------------- This behavior may be an expected behavior. It looks like *3.0.0-M1* will install *pom* file always, if the *pom* is available from the inside of the installed *jar* file. When the artifact is built by Maven, it will put the *pom* in the *META-INF* directory inside of the jar. This *pom* file will be installed always no matter what *generatePom* says. However *generatePom* comes into action when you want to install a *jar* file which doesn't contain any *META-INF* inside. [~robert12345], please do a simple test: * delete whole *META-INF* from the inside of your *target/test1-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar* * execute *mvn org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-install-plugin:3.0.0-M1:install-file -Dfile=target/test1-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar -DgroupId=test1 -DartifactId=test1 -Dversion=1.0-SNAPSHOT -Dpackaging=jar -Dgene ratePom=false* In my test *pom* file is not generated by *maven-install-plugin* as below: {noformat} $ mvn org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-install-plugin:3.0.0-M1:install-file -Dfile=target/test1-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar -DgroupId=test1 -DartifactId=test1 -Dversion=1.0-SNAPSHOT -Dpackaging=jar -Dgene ratePom=false [INFO] Scanning for projects...
