Re: Manually Install Plugins - franz see - org.apache.maven.users - MarkMailGood day to you Michael, First of all, there is not local plugin repository. It is just one repository for all artifacts, so don't worry if you see your plugin in your ${user.home}\.m2\repository. Anyway, the most direct approach to use your plugin is to follow the following command: mvn <groupId>:<artifactId>:<version>:<goal> Thus, in your case, that would be mvn org.apache.axis2.maven2:axis2-aar
