You say: making a standard assembly...the project archive is included yes (depending on the descriptor)...but the repository is only intended to create a thing which can be used to build the project with it's dependencies. This is a complete different point of view. See it from Maven's point of view. The local repository contains just the dependencies to build the given project but does *not* contain the project itself (except you do a {{mvn install}}). Furthermore the folder structure in a Maven repository is defined by Maven and can't be changed so giving option to define the structure makes no sense based on that background. was (Author: khmarbaise): Hi Kenney, I would say it is a kind of point of view.
