The parameters 'file' for goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-install-plugin:2.5.2:install-file are missing or invalid

I am using STS version 3.9. I am trying to add external dependency for ojdbc7.jar to local maven repository. I have downloaded ojbdc7.jar from oracle site. Through configuration window I have set goal as - install:install-file

Parameters as -

-Dfile={Path/to/your/ojdbc7.jar} -DgroupId=com.oracle -DartifactId=ojdbc7 -Dversion=12.1.0 -Dpackaging=jar

While running this, I am getting below error.

Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-install-plugin:2.5.2:install-file (default-cli) on project .The parameters 'file' for goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-install-plugin:2.5.2:install-file are missing or invalid

Thanks in advance.

In my case I forgot to add the backslash like so:

mvn install:install-file \
-Dfile='some-file.jar' \
-DgroupId='com.something' \
-DartifactId='artifactId' \
-Dversion='version' \
-Dpackaging='packaging' \
-DgeneratePom=true

Wrap all the parameters in the single quotes. shell is expanding it in unacceptable ways to maven.

mvn install:install-file -Dfile='/path/library.jar' -DgroupId='groupid' \
  -DartifactId='' -Dversion='' -Dpackaging='jar'

you are missing the file path and double quotes:

mvinstall:install-file -Dfile="path/file.jar" -DgroupId="com.oracle" -DartifactId=ojdbc7 -Dversion="12.1.0" -Dpackaging=jar

You should update the value of your param:

-Dfile={Path/to/your/ojdbc7.jar}

to the exact location of the jar you've downloaded -

-Dfile={/Users/user/Downloads/ojdbc7.jar}

Note: It must be a valid path in your system which you can get by looking at the properties/info of the downloaded jar.
