How to set global maven distrubution management settings?

Question

I want to avoid putting this part in pom.xml of every project distributed the same way

<distributionManagement>
    <repository>
        <id>my-id</id>
        <name>My deployed artifacts</name>
        <url>https://organization.xxx/maven/</url>
    </repository>
</distributionManagement>

How to set it globally via maven command or editing setting file?

Answer 1

Cannot be done in settings.xml.

What you can do:

• Use a company parent POM that specifies the distributionManagement.
• Set a property in the settings.xml and use it in distributionManagement.
• Use -DaltDeploymentRepository=... on command line for the build. See also https://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-deploy-plugin/deploy-mojo.html#altDeploymentRepository
