So for reasons I don't want to get into I have a jar that is backed by a
properties file. That properties file is different for different environments.
What I want to end up with is something like:
myapi-1.0-dev.jar
myapi-1.0-test.jar
myapi-1.0-ops.jar
Where dev, test, and ops are different flavors of the jar specified by the
classifier.
My real question was is how do I set the classifier such that it would create
one of these. The answer is in the maven-jar-plugin you can set a configuration
with a classifier.
<classifier>${env}</classifier>
Then I setup a Jenkins build that will execute a deploy for each of my flavors
by setting the env property differently for each execution.
env=dev
env=test
env=ops
Then when I or anyone makes changes to the jar they can update the version in
the Pom file and run he Jenkins task to deploy all three flavors. Making them
all available for all groups to grab out of my repository.
