Install Maven jar with pom into local repository

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

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
