Issue with deploying maven

And when I am trying to deploy, I get the following error:

> [INFO] BUILD FAILURE [INFO]

> (default-deploy) on project Eternity: Deployment failed: repository

> element or in -DaltDeploymentRepository=id::layout::url parameter ->

Can you tell me what am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

In your error log you have: > element was not specified in the POM inside distributionManagement

You have to specify something within your <distributionManagement> tag. Since you left it empty, you're getting the error. If you need to know what you need to include within the tag, then you may want to read about it on the Maven Reference Here.

Answer 2

See the usage of deploy plugin. You need to specify a remote repository under the distribution management section of your pom. This will tell maven where your artifact needs to be deployed:

  <distributionManagement>
    <repository>
      <id>internal.repo</id>
      <name>MyCo Internal Repository</name>
      <url>Host to Company Repository</url>
    </repository>
  </distributionManagement>
