Maven deploy to relative directory path

Question

I can deploy to an absolute directory:

<distributionManagement>
    <repository>
        <id>absolute directory</id>
        <url>file:///home/tukushan/workspace/omcutil/repo</url>
    </repository>
</distributionManagement>

But how do I deploy to a directory relative to my project's directory?

Answer 1

A relative directory can be specified when using the -DaltDeploymentRepository parameter, e.g.:

mvn deploy -DaltDeploymentRepository=snapshot-repo::default::file:../../my-local-snapshots-dir

The file URL is relative to the directory in which mvn is run.

See here for more info on the altDeploymentRepository parameter.
