**[Alon Bar-Lev](https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/ViewProfile.jspa?name=alon.bar...@gmail.com)** commented Hello, the deploy plugin is a useful way to pack all project artifacts into maven repository structure. It is required for example when you package an application for package manager, so you need the artifacts as maven repository locally so it can be packaged. I see no sense in limiting deploy plugin in case of repository is at file:// protocol, as file:// is not offline. Please support this, or allow another mechanism to create locally maven repository of project artifacts. Methods I tried: create repository using assembly - but binaries cannot be digested, create repository using dependency plugin - but I need to explicitly build the project in unique structure and explicitly specify dependencies. The deploy plugin is the right way to do this, it is just the offline limitation inhibit the use of it. Please push this forward, as far as code is concerned it is trivial.
