----------------------------------------------
I updated the documentation - thank you.
> 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
> Assignee: Sylwester Lachiewicz
> Priority: Major
>
> 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-file
> -Dfile=<path-to-jar-file>
> {code}
