I suppose I could also add another folder if I wanted to keep my artifacts separate to be able to purge and recreate the repo more easily. However, how do you create a m2 structure from a maven project? does the maven deploy plugin allows you to automate this for a project including its dependencies? I hope I do not have to install one bundle at a time via mvn install. > Variable substitution is not supported yet (it's a good idea by the way, > and worth to create a Jira), but you can prepare it at buildtime. > Do you want me to open an enhancement request?

I could not figure out how to do that from the shell, it looks like this was possible in 4.1 but the 4.2 shell is missing some commands that existed before. Maybe it is possible to populate a cave repo starting from a feature?
