How to Enable Maven to Push Artifact to Artifactory

This is done in ubuntu 11.10

1. Open /home//.m2/settings.xml or create the file if it does not exists.
2. Paste the ff code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <settings xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/SETTINGS/1.0.0"
    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
    xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/SETTINGS/1.0.0
    http://maven.apache.org/xsd/settings-1.0.0.xsd">  
    <servers>
        <server>
            <id>snapshots</id>
            <username>maven_user</username>
            <password>maven_password</password>
        </server>
        <server>
            <id>release</id>
            <username>maven_user</username>
            <password>maven_password</password>
        </server>
    </servers>
</settings>

Otherwise you'll get the error below:
