Greetings,
I am generating several artifacts from my build; a WAR, a TAR.GZ, and
a JAR -- as required by downstream usage scenarios (embedded,
standalone, or webapp)
The project has WAR packaging. But I need to supply a JAR and TAR.GZ
as well. The TAR.GZ is easy -- using the assembly plugin.
And it is easy to create the JAR (using the <archiveClasses> in the
maven-war-plugin.
But deploying the JAR is problematic. You have to use both the maven-
install-plugin (the install-file goal). And the maven-deploy-plugin
(the deploy-file goal).
I have all this working (my POM snippet is below). But my deploy-file
solution is less than satisfactory. deploy-file requires the <url>
parameter, and I do not see how to generically supply this value.
More specifically, we have a deploy url for SNAPSHOTs and for
Releases. And deploy-file only lets us supply one of these. I.e.
<url>$
{project.distributionManagement.snapshotRepository.url}</url>
I do not understand why the deploy-file goal cannot just use the
<distributionManagement> the way that the deploy goal does??
Can someone show me how to wire this up correctly??
As it is we would have to edit the POM when we create a Release, and
then edit it back -- which is just not right.
Thanks,

The complete POM snippet:
<plugin>

<artifactId>maven-deploy-plugin</artifactId>
<inherited>true</inherited>
<configuration>
<!-- do not create unique binaries for each
snapshot -->

</configuration>
<executions>
<execution>
<phase>deploy</phase>
<goals>

</goals>

<!-- the Jar is generated by the War, and
so is down in the target webapp -->

{project.artifactId}-${project.version}/WEB-INF/lib/$
{project.artifactId}-${project.version}.jar
