Deploy maven artifact using the wls-maven-plugin (12.1.1.0)

Question

I am trying to use the wls maven plugin to deploy an artifact located in my local repository.
According to the documentation ( http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E24329_01/web.1211/e24368/maven.htm#autoId6 ) this can be done by specifying the maven coordinates in the source parameter. Again according to the doc it should be specified as groupId:artifactID:packaging:classifier:version.
I tried this but as was not working I decompiled the wls-maven-plugin jar where I first of all discoverd that what should be passed is groupId:artifactID:version instead of the full one.
The next problem is the regular expression used to detect this:
if (this.source.matches("\\S:\\S:\\S")) {As you can see this will only detect one character long groupID, artifactID and version (obviously this has never been tested ...).
Can the source code of this plugin be found somewhere so I can fix it myself, can oracle fix this quickly, ... what are my options here?
Thanks

Answer 1

My first question regards step number 2...
2. Extract the contents of the supplemental zip (eg: extract into /home/myhome/mywls )
wls12120 directory will be automatically created during extraction.
The file name is wls12120_dev_supplemental.zip .
When I put this file in the mywls directory and Extract All ( using Windows Explorer, if that matters ),
the directory created is actually named " wls12120_dev_supplemental " and it has 1 sub-directory named " wls12120 ".
So, is there something wrong with Step 2's text ?
Is there something wrong with how I interpreted Step 2's text ?
Is the actual directory and sub-directory I see being created the successful response / result ?  Or did this step fail ?
