**[Michael Vorburger](https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/ViewProfile.jspa?name=vorburger)** commented Yes Karaf only updates Maven based URLs and Maven SNAPSHOTs, and that's exactly what this is for; a proposed new option to be able to install artifacts into an additional (!) local Maven repository. I use this regularly (we have it in https://github.com/opendaylight/odlparent/blob/master/odlparent-lite/pom.xml#L273). Would you like to elaborate in more details on what you mean by "you can use a file url or snapshots" - where? (Using maven-deploy-plugin (with a file:// URL parameter) instead of the maven-install-plugin in this context is no good, because deploy adds a unique time stamp to JAR file names (and its uniqueVersion option appears to be broken; see also issues MDEPLOY-44 and MDEPLOY-211).) BTW: I like my blog! You don't? Improvement Issues (without Fix Version) are perfectly fine for things like this IMHO. If you are the (sole?) current maintainer of maven-install-plugin, you are free to close issues where people try to contribute possible enhancements, of course. (To subscribe to mailing lists all over the universe to post an occasional suggestion like this, is too much email traffic overhead.) -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
