Manual deploy of source code

<project>
  <build>
    <plugins>
      <plugin>
        <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
        <artifactId>maven-source-plugin</artifactId>
        <version>2.0.4</version>

    </plugins>
  </build>
</project>

Automatic deploy of source code

With the following configuration sources will be created in target folder with mvn install and deployed to local repo with mvn deploy. It is probably not possible to link this to the deploy phase.

<plugin>
  <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
  <artifactId>maven-source-plugin</artifactId>
  <configuration>
    <attach>true</attach>
  </configuration>
  <executions>
    <execution>
      <phase>install</phase>
      <goals>
        <goal>jar</goal>
        <goal>test-jar</goal>
      </goals>
    </execution>
  </executions>
</plugin>
