Maven - Installs the POM files and the artifacts into /usr/share/maven-repo.

## SYNOPSIS

## DESCRIPTION

Reads the file debian/$package.poms and installs each POM file listed in the .poms file, as well as the associated jars - assuming that at least the **--artifact** option is given in the .poms file for all jars to install.

-

  will contain all the files to install

  do not use the version declared in the POM files.

**-v** **--verbose**: show more information while running

**-n** **--no-act**: don't actually do anything, just print the results

The $package.poms file must contain enough information to locate the jar files to install, and to associate them with their POM file. For each POM file associated with a jar, we need to supply at least the **--artifact** parameter.
