To 'upload' a jar to Maven's repository, you must provide artifact,
group and version, and Maven will change the names, since there is a
simple conversion algorithm for it;
URL url = new URL(
repoLocation + "/" +
groupId.replace( '.', '/' ) + "/"
artifactId + "/" +
version + "/" +
artifactId + "-" + version
( classifier != null ? "-" + classifier : "" )
+ "." + packaging
);
Or something to that extent. For that to work, there are very strict
restrictions of naming that you can not override.
BUT, if you ask for an upload from the Maven community, they will ask
for group, artifact, version and so on, together with the jar file
itself, and then the Maven tool (deploy:deploy-file) will
automatically make the correct naming, no matter what the jar filename
is.
