title: Adding a maven (distribution) repository on the command line
body: <p>I think this should be possible, but I have not found anything related to it, as all I have found relates to dependency repositories.</p>
  
  <p>What I would like to do is define the repository where maven (deploy, or release plugin for example) pushes the artifacts. How can I define it on the command line? I assume it is <code>-Dsomething</code></p>
  
  <p>UPDATE: When I read a jenkins error output carefully, it hints about using:<br>
  <code>-DaltDeploymentRepository=id::layout::url</code></p>
  
  <p>What Is the format for using this? What is the layout parameter?</p>
