As I said, see the documentation on the artifact plugin (http://maven.apache.org/reference/plugins/artifact/index.html). If you read the documentation on the artifact:install tag (see http://maven.apache.org/reference/plugins/artifact/tags.html), it explains why you should use it. Of course, you are free to use whatever works for you, such as the example you show using the repository:copy-jar goal.
