The instructions on the page custom-pom-installation doesn't solve the problem I'm having ( I'm usin the maven-install-plugin:2.5.2:install-file )
Example 1) Here we must have two files. The artifact jar-file _and_ an pom.xml file. I see no way of referencing the pom.xml _inside_ the artifact jar-file. So this I can't use since the pom.xml is bundled inside hte artifact.jar. Example 2) This will install the artifact jar-file with the information in the bundled pom.xml but then it generates a dummy pom.xml and install it. Why is it not installing the pom.xml it just read !? Generated POM-file looks like this :-( <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <project xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd" xmlns=" http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"> <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion> <groupId>com.pop.group</groupId> <artifactId>beatles</artifactId> <version>1.2.3</version> <description>POM was created from install:install-file</description> </project> /J > Hi, > > this is supported since version 2.5. > Read > http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-install-plugin/examples/custom-pom-installation.html > > for the details. > > thanks, > Robert > > Op Mon, 13 Oct 2014 13:56:26 +0200 schreef Johan Ekesparr > <johan....@gmail.com>: > > > Is there any way of installing the pom.xml file from inside an existing > > artifact using the maven-install-plugin ? > > > > Currently when we have an artifact created in a maven build the artifact > > includes the pom.xml file.
