Thanks for the suggestion. I have been trying to avoid using repository managers for a number of reasons that are beyond the scope of this thread. I may have to break down eventually...
I'm surprised no one has needed this sort of feature, or maybe they have and that's why Nexus has the features that it does. I was hoping to find a Maven native (whatever native means in a highly pluggable architecture) way to do this that would not take much additional work. mvn -DdoNothingButDeploy=true deploy That would be about perfect. :) Would this even be consider for an enhancement request if I opened it? Perhaps I am the only one interested in such a thing.

I realized after I sent my deploy:deploy suggestion that it probably wouldn't work without running at least the package phase, sorry to give you bad info. I'm reasonably confident with some light hacking you could write a plugin that essentially faked the build, but if the below is your use case and you can afford Nexus Pro, it's probably a better solution.

If I run deploy it basically starts deploying as it goes, so if a downstream component breaks for some reason then I am left with half of the components updated in the maven repo and half not. That's not really what we want. So ideally, we would run a build/test, make sure it all gets through completely, then deploy the resulting artifacts. -Jim -----Original Message----- From: Brian E.

Deploy is a phase and by definition all earlier phases run before the one you've asked for. Why would you not want to build before you deploy? -----Original Message----- From: Jim McCaskey [mailto:jim.mccas...@pervasive.com] Sent: Wednesday, March 25, 2009 10:17 PM To: 'users@maven.apache.org' Subject: How to perform a deploy only Hello all, I have several components all built from a top level pom. This works great for accelerating users to be able to build a lot of stuff quickly but is giving me some fits when trying to deploy. Up to this point I have been using deploy:deploy-file to get built components into our local repository after a full build is successful, but this is labor intensive. I would like to be able to run some variation of "mvn deploy" from the top level. I have figured out how to skip things using the FAQ here: http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-deploy-plugin/faq.html#skip But I do NOT want it to do anything other than deploy. I have googled for this but have not turned up anything useful. I was surprised that the documentation does not suggest how to do this. This is the correct deploy documentation I think. http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-deploy-plugin/ Anyway, any help would be appreciated.
