Override repository for upload in pom.xml

Question

The story behind: I submitted a bug to some public repo in GitHub, and it was fixed, but when I asked to release these changes I didn't get any response. So I'm waiting for next library version for 2 months. So I decided to fork this repo and publish to custom Bintray. The repo is https://github.com/okta/okta-sdk-java

The project has multiple maven modules:

$ find . -type f -name pom.xml
./httpclients/okhttp/pom.xml
./httpclients/httpclient/pom.xml
./impl/pom.xml
./swagger-templates/pom.xml
./pom.xml
./integration-tests/pom.xml
./api/pom.xml
./coverage/pom.xml
./examples/pom.xml
./examples/quickstart/pom.xml

I need to publish only impl module.

The problem is that root pom.xml has parent configuration:

    <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>

    <parent>
        <groupId>com.okta</groupId>
        <artifactId>okta-parent</artifactId>
        <version>14</version>
        <relativePath>../okta-java-parent</relativePath>
    </parent>

    <groupId>com.okta.sdk</groupId>
    <artifactId>okta-sdk-root</artifactId>
    <version>1.6.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
    <packaging>pom</packaging>

And all deploy config is specified in okta-parent pom. I tried to override repository config with (in root pom.xml ):

  <distributionManagement>
    <repository>
      <id>bintray-g4s8-maven</id>
      <name>mvn</name>
      <url>https://api.bintray.com/maven/g4s8/mvn/okta-sdk-impl/;publish=1</url>
    </repository>
  </distributionManagement>

but it didn't help. I have server configuration in my settings.xml for this repo, and it's working fine for all other projects of mine:

<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>bintray-g4s8-maven</id>
            <username>g4s8</username>
            <password>...</password>
        </server>
    </servers>
</settings>

When I'm trying to publish it I'm getting error:

$ mvn deploy -pl impl -Ppublish -DskipTests

Maven is uploading artifacts to https://oss.sonatype.org/ instead of configured URL https://api.bintray.com/maven/g4s8/mvn/okta-sdk-impl/;publish=1 . How can I force it to use my URL instead of parent URL?

Update

Effective pom shows both repositories in distributionManagement :

    <distributionManagement>
      <repository>
        <id>bintray-g4s8-maven</id>
        <name>mvn</name>
        <url>https://api.bintray.com/maven/g4s8/mvn/okta-sdk-impl/;publish=1</url>
      </repository>
      <snapshotRepository>
        <id>sonatype-nexus-snapshots</id>
        <name>Sonatype Nexus Snapshots</name>
        <url>https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots/</url>
      </snapshotRepository>
    </distributionManagement>

Answer 1

It is looking like you are building a SNAPSHOT version. The configured <snapshotRepository> is oss.sonatype... . You only added a configuration for building release versions.
