Change default Maven path?

Is it possible to change the default path where Maven places a *.war or a *.jar after the install process? Can I alter this to a personalized path? If yes, how would I do that? All my projects currently follow the following paths:

--- maven-install-plugin:2.3.1:install (default-install) @ myProject ---
Installing /home/myuser/NetBeansProjects/myProject/target/myProject-1.0.war to /home/myuser/.m2/repository/com/allproj/myProject/1.0/myProject-1.0.war

In general it's not a good idea to mess with the maven-install-plugin for the purpose of delivering artifacts to a specific destination. The purpose of the install plugin is to store not only the artifact but a bunch of associated metadata into a local artifact repository.

You can use the WildFly Maven Plugin if you want to install your WAR file into a WildFly instance.

Alternatively you can use the copy goal of the Maven Dependency Plugin to place a copy of your WAR file (or any other artifact) wherever you need.

Yes you can customize it.

Just uncomment below lines in settings.xml file inside conf folder of maven installation directory.

<!-- localRepository
   | The path to the local repository maven will use to store artifacts.
   |
   | Default: ${user.home}/.m2/repository
  <localRepository>/path/to/local/repo</localRepository>
  -->

You can uncomment it and add path in localRepository tag for your new location,then maven will start downloading all the artifact and install your app in the new location.
