Deploying 3rd Party Jars With WebDAV

Deploying With Webdav

As of Maven 2.0.9 it is no longer nessesary to add the build extension to your project.

The simplest way to enable webdav deployment is to add a build extension to your project:

<project>
   ...
   <build>
      ...
      <extensions>
         <extension>
            <groupId>org.apache.maven.wagon</groupId>
            <artifactId>wagon-webdav</artifactId>
            <version>1.0-beta-2</version>
         </extension>
      </extensions>
   </build>
...
</project>

To use mvn deploy:deploy-file with webdav, save a simple pom.xml containing wagon-webdav as a build extension in the directory from which you execute 'mvn'. (You may need to rename the pom for the project you are deploying.)

<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
      xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/maven-v4_0_0.xsd">
   <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
   <groupId>com.example</groupId>
   <artifactId>webdav-deploy-pom</artifactId>
   <packaging>pom</packaging>
   <version>1</version>
   <name>Webdav Deployment POM</name>

   <build>
      <extensions>
         <extension>
            <groupId>org.apache.maven.wagon</groupId>
            <artifactId>wagon-webdav</artifactId>
            <version>1.0-beta-2</version>
         </extension>
      </extensions>
   </build>

</project>

Example:

mvn deploy:deploy-file -Dfile=example.jar -DpomFile=example.pom -DrepositoryId=myrepo -Durl=dav:http://localhost:8080/archiva/repository/myrepo

You can also point Maven at an alternate pom file with -f on the command line.

Example:

mvn deploy:deploy-file -f /path/to/webdav-deploy-pom.xml -Dfile=example.jar -DpomFile=example.pom -DrepositoryId=myrepo -Durl=dav:http://localhost:8080/archiva/repository/myrepo

Alternate method, modifying the Maven distribution

Given that maven 2 doesn't currently include the wagon-webdav plug-in in its core, here's how to add it:

svn co http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/maven/components/branches/maven-2.0.x

add to maven-2.0.x/pom.xml

<dependency>
        <groupId>org.apache.maven.wagon</groupId>
        <artifactId>wagon-webdav</artifactId>
        <version>1.0-beta-1</version>
</dependency>

add to maven-2.0.x/maven-core/pom.xml

<dependency>
      <groupId>org.apache.maven.wagon</groupId>
      <artifactId>wagon-webdav</artifactId>
      <scope>runtime</scope>
</dependency>

then...

mvn clean install
cd maven-core
mvn assembly:assembly
cd target

and finally install your new maven-2.0.5-SNAPSHOT-bin...

The examples from the guide to deploying 3rd party jars will now work in the following context:

mvn deploy:deploy-file -Durl=dav:http://my.maven.repo/ -DrepositoryId=id.from.settings.xml -DpomFile=whatever.pom -Dfile=whatever.jar

    Not sure if there are missing jars or too many listed, but in any case you don't need to build from scratch

    I only had to add these jar files when doing a maven multimodule project deployment. In anycase, I've posted the minimal list of jars that I needed here:
