How to install Maven artifact with sources from command line?

To download sources for your dependencies:

mvn eclipse:eclipse -DdownloadSources=true

To attach sources to an installation:

mvn source:jar install

It's also preferable to use the goal source:jar-no-fork in your pom as described on the maven-source-plugin page.


Simple, get your sources and JavaDocs:

mvn dependency:resolve -Dclassifier=javadoc
mvn dependency:resolve -Dclassifier=sources

Please use mvn source:jar install to install the Maven artifacts.
