This distinction, although comprehensible from a technical point of view, should be hidden away from the clients of the artifact plugin. >From the users point of view there is just an artifact which should be installed or >deployed, be it a snapshot or not. To differ between them introduces unnecessary complexity and also adds possibilities for usage errors (ie, trying to install snapshots, to install-snapshot release versions and so on). IMHO, there should be only two tags, one to deploy and one to install an artifact. A possible implementation just needs to check the filename for SNAPSHOT_SIGNIFIER. If it is part of the artifacts file name, treat it as a snapshot, otherwise not. To avoid breaking anything, the proposed tags can be added in addition to the existing tags. After a transition period the current tags should be removed. --------------------------------------------------------------------- JIRA INFORMATION: This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
