I don t think maven supports this  If you re on Unix  and don t want to leave your current directory  you could use a small shell script  a shell function  or just a sub-shell   user host   project   cd   some location  mvn install        mvn build       user host   project    As a bash function  which you could add to your    bashrc    function mvn-there       DIR   1    shift    cd  DIR  mvn                user host   project  mvn-there   some location install        mvn build       user host   project    I realize this doesn t answer the specific question  but may provide you with what you re after   I m not familiar with the Windows shell  though you should be able to reach a similar solution there as well   Regards
