How to configure maven project to deploy both snapshot and releases to Nexus?

<distributionManagement>
    <repository>
        <id>InternalReleases</id>
        <name>Internal Releases</name>
        <url>http://192.168.16.232:8081/nexus/content/repositories/releases/</url>
    </repository>
    <repository>
        <id>InternalSnapshots</id>
        <name>Internal Snapshots</name>
        <url>http://192.168.16.232:8081/nexus/content/repositories/snapshots/</url>
    </repository>
</distributionManagement>

This configuration creates error in Eclipse 3.8 with m2e 1.2

Project build error: Non-parseable POM D:\Workspaces\W\Parent\pom.xml: Duplicated tag: 'repository' (position: START_TAG 
 seen ...

I want the artifact deployed to the InternalSnapshots repository when the pom's version is suffixed with -SNAPSHOT and deployed to the InternalReleases repository when it is RELEASE. This should happen using the same pom.xml file and executing the same mvn deploy command.

You need to distinguish between the releases and snapshots repository. <distributionManagement> only allows one <repository> and one <snapshotRepository> child.

Example of pom.xml configuration

<!-- http://maven.apache.org/pom.html#Distribution_Management -->
<distributionManagement>
    <snapshotRepository>
        <id>InternalSnapshots</id>
        <name>Internal Snapshots</name>
        <url>http://192.168.16.232:8081/nexus/content/repositories/snapshots/</url>
    </snapshotRepository>
    <repository>
        <id>InternalReleases</id>
        <name>Internal Releases</name>
        <url>http://192.168.16.232:8081/nexus/content/repositories/releases/</url>
    </repository>
</distributionManagement>

You can do both.

Add the maven-release-plugin 2.5.3

Run the following:

mvn deploy clean:release release:prepare release:perform
