Hello, I'm trying to manually install some plugins that work with Axis 2.1. The only place I can find them are as JAR downloads from Axis' website.
I try to install the plugin like so: mvn install:install-file -Dfile= axis2-aar-maven-plugin-1.1.jar-DartifactId=axis2-aar-maven-plugin -DgroupId=org.apache.axis2.maven2 -Dversion=1.1 -Dpackaging=plugin This puts the plugin in Maven's repository, but when I try to run it like so (just to see if the plugin got installed): mvn adb:exploded It claims that the plugin doesn't exist and tries to download it from a remote repository, failing since the plugin doesn't exist in the remote repository. Taking a look in my .m2 directory, I find that the plugin is installed in \repository\org\apache\axis2\maven2\axis2-aar-maven-plugin, and not in the plugin repository. Can someone point out what I'm doing wrong, or an easier way to install a plugin? Thanks. -Michael B.
