Description

When you want to install a pre-built third party jar file into a local repo google will point you at these pages:

• http://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-3rd-party-jars-local.html
• http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-install-plugin/examples/specific-local-repo.html

Neither of these pages explains what to do if you have a pom that you want to deploy as well as the jar file. The right answer is already documented here:

• http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-install-plugin/examples/custom-pom-installation.html

Please enhance the documentation in two ways:

• enhance the mini-guide to include an example with a pom
• enhance the plugin guides to provide cross-links between the individual pages. ie, after the example at links along the lines of "if you want to install a pom as well click here" etc.
