Deploying the Hello World Artifact to a Repository

Set up a personal maven release repository
- It's just a directory
  - With any name you choose (maven-repo/, e.g.)
  - Accessible via HTTP (~/public_html/maven-repo/, rwxr-sr-x)
    - You can protect this with, e.g., basic auth
      - Apache httpd: .htaccess
    - Make it really save using HTTPS (see self-signed certificate issues)
  - Writable for you via scp

Add where to deploy to the pom.xml distributionManagement/repository-element

(and distributionManagement/snapshotRepository-element)

<project> […] <distributionManagement> […] <repository>
<id>`projectRepository`</id>	a unique id for this repository, so we can refer to it in `~/.m2/settings.xml` for authentification settings
<name>`Repository Name`</name>	a human-readable name for the repository
<url>`Wagon Url`</url>	a Wagon URL, most often `scp`
</repository> […] </distributionManagement> […] </project>

Add access settings to ~/.m2/settings.xml <servers />-element for repository/id

Nothing needed for standard un*x ssh settings, with same user name on server as client
Missing un*x group configuration??

Deploy Hello World example
- mvn deploy
  - Last phase in default build lifecycle

Note: there are currently severe issues with scp; if it doesn't work, try scpexe
