-Dpackaging=jar -DrepositoryId=deploymentRepo -Durl=http://localhost:8081/repository/maven-releases/ -Dfile=target/projectt-1.1.jar

*im deploying locally

Solution

You're either referring to a missing file target/projectt-1.1.jar or you're missing a backslash at end of the first line.

Tip: you shouldn't need to specify groupId/artifactId/version if the jar file is built with maven (i.e. contains a pom.xml file) and you're not overriding the values in the pom.xml file. Haven't tested this, I'm merely assuming on the working of the maven-install-plugin:install-file task. Give it a try and let me know.
