I build weekly a large third-party project (apache sling) in Jenkins. I've got jenkin's settings.xml set up to use my own archiva server to download all dependencies (using the mirror section).
However, I haven't figured out how to get the build to upload snapshots my own snapshots repository when doing a 'deploy'. It instead tries to upload the snapshots to an apache.org snapshots server and fails.
Is there a way to configure settings.xml to override the snapshots server in a similar way it's possible to override the repository? This has to be done without editing the project's pom.xml.
The reason I need to do this is because I need access to some of the snapshot versions as dependencies in another project, and I don't want to have to manually upload them all into archiva.
Here's my settings.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<settings xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/SETTINGS/1.0.0"

You can overwrite the Distribution management section with command line parameters.
mvn clean deploy -DaltDeploymentRepository=ui-snapshots::default::http://localhost:8081/artifactory/libs-snapshot-local/
Have a look at the maven deploy plugin.
Alternatively, you should be able to use the Jenkins post build step. There you need to specifically provide the Repo url anyway.
