• All Commons components that use the org.apache.commons groupId are already set up to use Nexus.
  

However, components that use different groupIds may need to be set up. See the instructions in Publishing Maven Artifacts to request adjustments to the Nexus configuration to support additional groupIds.

• If you have not done so already, create a master password.
  

See http://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-encryption.html The master password should be stored on a USB stick if your host system is not secure. Create the ~/.m2/settings-security.xml file, for example:

<settingsSecurity>
  <relocation>/USB/settings-security.xml</relocation>
</settingsSecurity>

This should point to the file containing the master password:

<settingsSecurity>
    <master>Master password goes here</master>
</settingsSecurity>

If you are sure that your system is secure, then the master password can be stored directly in the ~/.m2/settings-security.xml file.

• apache.snapshots.https
• apache.releases.https
  

These correspond with Nexus repository definitions in the Apache parent pom (v7).

...

So you can add -Ptest-deploy to the deploy command to change the deployment to use target/deploy.

For example:

mvn clean deploy -Prelease-Ptest-deploy
