Good morning,

I have some problems using artefacts deployed with classifiers. The version of 
Maven I am using is 3.0.2

We add the classifiers (jacorb) and (sunorb) to our CORBA artefacts, such that 
the classifier name is added to the jar version i.e 
"corba-client-base-2.3-SNAPSHOT-jacorb.jar" or 
"corba-client-base-2.3-SNAPSHOT-sunorb.jar"

These are then translated into our (Nexus) repository with the timestamp plus 
consecutive build number, i.e. 
"corba-client-base-2.3-20110427.092455-43-jacorb.jar" and 
"corba-client-base-2.3-20110427.092455-44-sunorb.jar".

You will notice the timestamp is the same for the time stamp but the build 
number is different for the artefacts, that are built by different plans on 
Bamboo.

The metadata for this version is

<metadata>
<groupId>uk.co.igindex.corba</groupId>
<artifactId>corba-client-base</artifactId>
<version>2.3-SNAPSHOT</version>
<versioning>
<snapshot>
<timestamp>20110427.092455</timestamp>
<buildNumber>44</buildNumber>
</snapshot>
<lastUpdated>20110429052440</lastUpdated>
</versioning>
</metadata>

When I build a project that depends on "corba-client-base" I get the following 
error:

1]

I can understand this error is due to the mismatch of the build number returned 
by the metadata, because the <buildNumber> value does not reflect the actual 
artefact build number.

My question is: how can I solve this? How can I tell the correct build number 
for different classifiers? Is it possible to tell Maven to use the same build 
number for both build, or at least to use some custom number? In fact, if the 
timestamp is the same for both artefact, why is not the build number?

I have tried the <uniqueVersion> but it does not solve all the issues, makes 
the pom cumbersome, I read somewhere that is deprecated and ultimately I don't 
like it, because I want to keep the multiple version mechanism for my artefacts.
I have tried the buildnumber-maven-plugin, but it looks this generates a build 
number that does not have any effect on the deployment build number.

I tried many customisation options on the maven-deploy-plugin but none of these 
solved my issue.

If anyone can help, this would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
