If the upload fails with Error deploying artifact: Failed to transfer file: ... Return code is: 401 then either the username/password are incorrect, or Nexus has not yet been set up for the commons component.

Deploying to a local directory

The deploy target can easily be overridden by defining the altDeploymentRepository property. For example, the following will deploy to the local directory target/deploy:

{{mvn deploy -Prelease \[-Dgpg.skip\] \[-DskipTests\] -DaltDeploymentRepository=id::default::file:target/deploy}}

It's difficult to type and remember this parameter. One solution is to create a profile in your settings.xml:

<profile>
  <id>local-deploy</id>
  <properties>
    <altDeploymentRepository>id::default::file:target/deploy</altDeploymentRepository>
  </properties>
</profile>

You can then add -Plocal-deploy to the deploy command to change the deployment to use target/deploy.

Creating a Nexus staging release

...

{{mvn deploy -Prelease \[-DskipTests\] \[-Plocal-deploy\]}}

The -Plocal-deploy parameter can be used as described above to redirect the deployment to target/deploy.

OtherwiseThis time, the artifacts will be deployed to the release staging repository in Nexus.
