Upload artifacts to Nexus, without Maven

Have you considering using the Maven command-line to upload files?

mvn deploy:deploy-file \
    -Durl=$REPO_URL \
    -DrepositoryId=$REPO_ID \
    -DgroupId=org.myorg \
    -DartifactId=myproj \
    -Dversion=1.2.3  \
    -Dpackaging=zip \
    -Dfile=myproj.zip

This will automatically generate the Maven POM for the artifact.

Update

The following Sonatype article states that the “deploy-file” maven plugin is the easiest solution, but it also provides some examples using curl:
