repository element was not specified in the POM inside distributionManagement element or in -DaltDep loymentRepository=id::layout::url parameter

Question

I\'m having a problem while deploying and here is the error message I get:

[INFO]
[INFO] --- maven-deploy-plugin:2.7         


        

Answer 1

In your pom.xml you should add distributionManagement configuration to where to deploy.

In the following example I have used file system as the locations.

<distributionManagement>
       <repository>
         <id>internal.repo</id>
         <name>Internal repo</name>
         <url>file:///home/thara/testesb/in</url>
       </repository>
   </distributionManagement>

you can add another location while deployment by using the following command (but to avoid above error you should have at least 1 repository configured) :

mvn deploy -DaltDeploymentRepository=internal.repo::default::file:///home/thara/testesb/in

Answer 2

The issue is fixed by adding repository url under distributionManagement tab in main pom.xml.

Jenkin maven goal : clean deploy -U -Dmaven.test.skip=true

<distributionManagement>
    <repository>
        <id>releases</id>
        <url>http://domain:port/content/repositories/releases</url>
    </repository>
    <snapshotRepository>
        <id>snapshots</id>
        <url>http://domain:port/content/repositories/snapshots</url>
    </snapshotRepository>
</distributionManagement>

Answer 3

You should include the repository where you want to deploy in the distribution management section of the pom.xml.

Example:

<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/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd">
...   
<distributionManagement>
    <repository>
      <uniqueVersion>false</uniqueVersion>
      <id>corp1</id>
      <name>Corporate Repository</name>
      <url>scp://repo/maven2</url>
      <layout>default</layout>
    </repository>
    ...
</distributionManagement>
...
</project>
