I don't consider myself an expert here and I actually haven't had
time to digest your entire original post, but I wanted to point out
that if you're just using Nexus because it's convenient and you don't
need to support Maven itself, you don't have to publish POMs at all.
I have been happily publishing Ivy files to Nexus for several months
now.

For the issue where published "snapshots" did not appear in the Nexus

"best

A response on Stack Overflow seemed to support "non-unique" snapshots:

artifactory-from-keeping-snapshots-with-timestamps
So maybe not having timestamped snapshots is okay after all. It
doesn't
quite answer the question I originally posted but I'm fine with this
behavior now (unless someone has some other suggestion/input).
Also, I guess for now I'm just going to have to implement two IVY
files, one
for the snapshots and one for the releases (since I need two
different pom
files when publishing). If there is a better way please let me
know. :)
Thanks!
