Description

I did a mvn install in the first place in order to generate artifact for my maven project.

As a second step I wanted to make a decision to only "deploy" the generated artifact to the remote repo using
"mvn deploy:deploy" command
Since the artifact is already been compiled, created inside target folders, there should not be any need to force a developer to rerun everything if we wish to only upload the artifact to remote repo.

When we execute "mvn deploy:deploy", it gives the following error:
