Make the interpolated POM of a released artifact accessible too
---------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MNG-4716
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-4716
Project: Maven 2 & 3
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Deployment
Reporter: Tamás Cservenák
Make the interpolated POM of a released artifact accessible too. Whether
embedded into deployed JAR, or next to "real" POM.
Reasoning: the interpolated POM is not for "downstream consumers" (build
consuming this artifact), but for about "how this build is done". We always
argument against this in way that "profiles" and plugin settings (and other
things) are lost with interpolated POM. That's true, but again, I'd like to
have an interpolated POM of a _released_ artifact that would describe me _how
this artifact was built_, and not to be referenced and consumed by others (as
dependency or whatever).
So, after deploying org.test:foo:1.0. i'd like to have:
/org/test/foo/1.0
foo-1.0.pom
foo-1.0.pom.interpolated
foo-1.0.jar
Or something similar (having the interpolated POM embedded in JAR). Not
embedding would allow us to "calculate" interpolated poms for already released
POMs too.
So, ultimately, POM is "changing", yes, but only when it is consumed. But
during release, it is frozen, and will stay like that, since all it's parent
POM, deps, plugins are released, are not "moving targets" anymore.
