Questions on what xml tags to use for pom.xml file for downloading isos

[christopher.mil...@gd-ms.com]

Hi, first post here.  I'm new to Maven and its been quite some time since I've 
used XML.

We are trying to using Maven to either upload and download artifacts from a 
Nexus repository Vs doing it manually.

I've been trying various things, until I got the following to finally work for 
a multi iso download from a Nexus repo that we have inhouse:



<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project xmlns=http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0
         xmlns:xsi=http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance

    <depStagingArea>/dropbox/</depStagingArea>
    <downloadFilename1>1st_ISO_here.iso</downloadFilename1>
    <downloadFilename2>2nd_ISO_here.iso</downloadFilename2>

</properties>

  <build>
    <plugins>
      <plugin>
        <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
        <artifactId>maven-dependency-plugin</artifactId>
        <version>2.8</version>
          <configuration>
            <artifactItems>
              <artifactItem>
              <groupId>${project.groupId}</groupId>
              <artifactId>1st_ISO_here.iso</artifactId>
              <version>${project.version}</version>
              <type>iso</type>
              <overWrite>iso</overWrite>
              <outputDirectory>${depStagingArea/pcs}</outputDirectory>
              <destFileName>${downloadFilename1}</destFileName>
              </artifactItem>
              <artifactItem>
              <groupId>${project.groupId}</groupId>
              <artifactId>2nd_ISO_here.iso</artifactId>
              <version>${project.version}</version>
              <type>iso</type>
              <overWrite>iso</overWrite>
              <outputDirectory>${depStagingArea/pcs}</outputDirectory>
              <destFileName>${downloadFilename2}</destFileName>
              </artifactItem>
            </artifactItems>
          </configuration>
      </plugin>
    </plugins>
  </build>

  <repositories>



Also, when I run this, the isos are downloaded to ~/software/xml/poms, when 
I've specified markup tags for <depStagingArea>/dropbox/</depStagingArea>.  Not 
sure why its working like this.

Thanks
