[MDEPLOY-315] Documentation

Alberto Gallardo opened MDEPLOY-315 and commented

Rewrite [usage#the-deploy-deploy-mojo|https://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-deploy-plugin/usage.html#the-deploy-deploy-mojo ] to clarify that the distributionManagement can be also configured without modifying the pom.

Currently, the documentation states:

To enable this mojo to function, you must include a valid <distributionManagement/> section POM, [...]

Suggesting that the pom must specify this element and must be modified accordingly. This suggestion is reinforced in deploy-mojo#altDeploymentRepository :

<altDeploymentRepository>

Specifies an alternative repository to which the project artifacts should be deployed (other than those specified in <distributionManagement>). (my interpretation is that distributionManagement must be present)

Unfortunately, this mislead me to think that the only way to provide this configuration was by modifying the pom. I later found that altDeploymentRepository could be used instead of the distributionManagement in the pom.
