Deploying an non-Jar executable from a Maven build

Question

I have a maven build that produces a binary executable. This executable is not a jar. It happens to be a linux executable file. This is produced by a separate process that is executed by the custom execution of the exec-maven-plugin, attached to the install phase. We then have a script invoked from another custom execution of the exec-maven-plugin, attached to the deploy phase, which "deploys" the executable to a filesystem location.

How can I deploy this executable as a real maven artifact in a nexus repository?

you can use maven-deploy-plugin. A similar scenario is documented here [1]

Do you happen to know how the deploy:deploy locates the file it's going to deploy? – chad Jan 20 '12 at 16:46
I think by default it deploys, .jar and .zip files found under target folder - (i'm not 100% sure about the statement). – Pradeep Fernando Jan 20 '12 at 17:39
