>From what I know, uniqueVersion is always true for Maven 3 and there is no planned support for non-unique versions. Other people has asked the same, but nobody has stepped up and implemented it. However, for your deployment, I'm guessing that you want to retrieved the latest SNAPSHOT build from Nexus and install it to a server? There a REST API for getting the latest SNAPSHOT version which should do what you need: http://nexus.sonatype.org/nexus-faq.html#25 You should only need to alter how the UNIX script gets the file. /Anders On Mon, Aug 16, 2010 at 12:16, ni...@codefresh.com <ni...@codefresh.com>wrote: > Hi, > > I've noticed that the uniqueVersion attribute of the release plugin is > effectively ignored for Maven 3, which is preventing me from upgrading at > present.
