That doesn't make any sense. Deploy means to push it to a "remote" repository for sharing with the team. Install will already put it into their own local repo.
I suggest you take a look at the maven docs or the maven book: www.sonatype.com/book to get a better idea how everything works. Then you'll understand why we're all confused about what you're trying to do. -----Original Message----- From: John Brady [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, September 16, 2008 9:28 AM To: Baptiste MATHUS Cc: Maven Users List Subject: Re: Maven won't run offline (maven-deploy-plugin). Can I use ant for deploy phase? I have looked into option three, but the team is only deploying to their own machines. Therefore, I want everyone developer to have their own full repository so they do not have to download anything and can work fully offline with the ability to deploy a war file to their own machine. Does that make more sense? Option 2 seems feasible and clean. I will look into that.
