Stephen, Ah, this sounds like a very promising work around. I was unaware of the maven-stage-plugin. Short of a method to do it with deploy directly this may work.
Thanks for the suggestion! -Jim -----Original Message----- From: Stephen Connolly [mailto:stephen.alan.conno...@gmail.com] Sent: Thursday, March 26, 2009 1:13 AM To: Maven Users List Subject: Re: How to perform a deploy only Well you could stage them yourself.... You need a staging repository... I see no reason why this cannot be file based You then need to do some scripting and use the maven-stage-plugin ( http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-stage-plugin/index.html) to copy the contents of the staging repository to the real repository. I normally have the distribution repository defined by a property in settings.xml... so that you can just run mvn deploy -Ddistribution.url=file:///staging-repo and then run an ant script that does the mvn stage:copy for you -Stephen 2009/3/26 Jim McCaskey <jim.mccas...@pervasive.com> > Thanks for the suggestion.
