Trying to get Maven to deploy to Artifactory Server

Question

I'm trying to get a project to deploy to our Artifactory repository. The user qazwart is an administrator and has the permission to deploy to the server. I have that user's correct information in the settings.xml file under the <central> and <snapshots> IDs. I have the right URL in the <distributionManagement> section in my pom.xml file. It looks like everything is setup correctly. Yet, when I try to deploy, I get a Return code is: 405, ReasonPhrase: Method Not Allowed. -> [Help 1] error.

What should I be looking for or trying?

The output of mvn deploy (I added line breaks in the [ERORR] section to make it more readable):

Answer 1

I found the issue. I had the wrong Artifactory repositories. I had lib-releases and lib-snapshots. These are virtual repositories. What I want is libs-release-local and libs-snapshot-local. Now, mvn deploy works.

However, I now am trying to get the Jenkin's Artifactory Plugin
