Unable to install a local maven artefact to remote repository, google-android-maps

Question

I'm in the process of setting up a Jenkins build environment to build my android projects. For the most part its OK however there are some dependencies that are not available in the central repository, such as the Google Android Maps API, therefore I need to install it to my remote repository manually. I've got these install to my local repo using mvn install and that works fine.

I've done some googling, and have the following configuration so far, but I'm seeing the following errors when I try to deploy the maps jar to my remote repo.

mvn deploy:deploy-file -DgroupId=com.google.android.maps -DartifactId=maps -Dversion=8_r1 -Dpackaging=jar -Dfile=C:\Users\James\.m2\repository\com\google\android\maps\maps\8_r1\maps-8_r1.jar -DrepositoryId=cloudbeesreleases -Durl=https://repository-myusername.forge.cloudbees.com/release/

and I see this :

I've got the following in my settings.xml

Have I got something misconfigured, or am I completely misunderstanding how the deploy should work?

Answer 1

The error message seems straightforward.

Cannot deploy artifact from the local repository:...

Can you try deploying the file placing it in a different location? Also this discussion seems to be on the same problem and states why there is a problem.

Answer 2

Putting together Raghuram's answer and neu242's comment was the solution for me. For clarity's sake:

cp ~/.m2/repository/path/to/jar/api-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar /tmp/.
mvn deploy:deploy-file -DgroupId=com.mygroup -DartifactId=api -Dversion=1.0-SNAPSHOT -Durl=file:./local-maven-repo/ -DrepositoryId=local-maven-repo -DupdateReleaseInfo=true -Dfile=/tmp/api-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar -Dpackaging=jar
