Repositories that you retrieve artifacts from are different from repositories that you publish to. The former are configured in <repositories> and <pluginRepositories> usually in settings.xml, while the latter are inside <distributionManagement> which is in the pom. You can see an example of distributionManagement in the ASF organization-level pom: http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/maven/pom/trunk/asf/pom.xml When you deploy, Maven will automatically choose between the distribution 'repository' or 'snapshotRepository' based on whether the version number ends in -SNAPSHOT. (You can try this out by adding distributionManagement to a sample project and deploying to file:///tmp/releases vs. file:///tmp/snapshots by changing the version number.) -- Wendy
