title: Maven install-file won't generate pom.xml
body: <p>I've installed some third party jars to my repository using the following command:</p>
  
  <pre><code>mvn install:install-file -Dfile=/home/anotherCoder/Downloads/nifty-1.0.jar -DgroupId=nifty-gui -DartifactId=nifty-gui -Dversion=1.0 -Dpackaging=jar
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>However, once I do mvn compile, maven complains that there is no pom file in the repository and attempts to download it, but can't cause it is not published at any remote repository.</p>
  
  <p>Here is the exact message from maven:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Downloading: http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/nifty-gui/nifty-gui/1.0/nifty-gui-1.0.pom
  [INFO] Unable to find resource 'nifty-gui:nifty-gui:pom:1.0' in repository central (http://repo1.maven.org/maven2)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>So how do I get maven to generate a pom file for that jar and put it in my local repository?</p>
