Hello everyone,

I need some assisstance deploying a JAR file to my projects maven repository.
I am running a clojure app, and have a rebuilt jar file that I wish to deploy as is, I tried following several guides but still hitting a wall.

Here is my config:
settings.xml:

<settings xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/SETTINGS/1.0.0"
  xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
  xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/SETTINGS/1.0.0
                      https://maven.apache.org/xsd/settings-1.0.0.xsd">
  <servers>
    <server>
      <id>gitlab-maven</id>
      <configuration>
        <httpHeaders>
          <property>
            <name>Job-Token</name>
            <value>${env.CI_JOB_TOKEN}</value>
          </property>
        </httpHeaders>
      </configuration>
    </server>
  </servers>
</settings>

pom.xml:

.gitlab-ci.yaml job config:

      -Dpackaging=jar \

I am getting the following error:

Downloaded: https://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2/org/codehaus/mojo/maven-metadata.xml (20 KB at 256.3 KB/sec)

this came after several failed attempts, making me feel like I have a fundamentally wrong approach.
Any help is appreciated.

Many thanks,
MM

Looks like you are missing the maven deploy or release plugins from your POM.
