when using "copy-dependencies" goal in dependency plugin, how can i install old version to overwrite a new one

[eyal edri]

I'm trying to installer an older version of my project (to check rollback
option),

how can i tell maven to remove the new versions installed and replace with
older one?

the other way works perfect.


my pom:

 <plugin>
        <!-- copy artifact target to classpath -->
        <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
        <artifactId>maven-dependency-plugin</artifactId>
        <executions>
          <execution>
            <id>copy</id>
            <phase>install</phase>
            <goals>
              <goal>copy</goal>
            </goals>
            <configuration>
              <artifactItems>
                <artifactItem>
                  <groupId>${project.groupId}</groupId>
                  <artifactId>${project.artifactId}</artifactId>
                  <version>${project.version}</version>
                  <type>${project.packaging}</type>
                  <overWrite>true</overWrite>
                  <outputDirectory>${classpath}</outputDirectory>
                </artifactItem>
              </artifactItems>
            </configuration>
          </execution>
          <!--  copy artifact dependencies to classpath -->
          <execution>
            <id>copy-dependencies</id>
            <phase>install</phase>
            <goals>
              <goal>copy-dependencies</goal>
            </goals>
            <configuration>
              <outputDirectory>${classpath}</outputDirectory>
              <overWriteReleases>true</overWriteReleases>
              <overWriteSnapshots>true</overWriteSnapshots>
              <overWriteIfNewer>true</overWriteIfNewer>
              <stripVersion>false</stripVersion>
            </configuration>
          </execution>
        </executions>
      </plugin>
