Install Maven jar with pom into local repository
maven
Solution
See http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-install-plugin/examples/custom-pom-installation.html Just ensure you're using at least version 2.5, which introduced this feature.
And by the way: the goal is `install-file`, not install-jar
Problem
I have an old jar (`jsf-api-2.0.2.jar`). In this jar there is a `/META-INF/maven`-Folder. How do I install the jar into my local repository? `install:install-file` says I need to specify the artifactId myself. How do I force it to use the information in `jsf-api-2.0.2.jar!\META-INF\maven\com.sun.faces\jsf-api\pom.xml`? Output: ``` mvn install:install-file -Dfile=jsf-api-2.0.2.jar [INFO] Scanning for projects...
