I'm having a problem using deploy:deploy-file with snapshots I'd like some advice on please.
I have 2 projects; 1) Ant based and 2) the other Maven based that consumes the jars of the other project via Archiva.
I've added a target to the Ant project to deploy snapshots on every successful build during our iteration.
The problem is the Maven project cannot find them because the name of the dependency has a
timestamp appended like so:
someJar-1.0-20100407.171211-1.jar
Here is the Ant target:
<exec executable="${maven.bin}" dir="../lib">
<arg value="deploy:deploy-file" />
<arg value="-DgroupId=com.my.package" /><arg value="-DartifactId=${ant.project.name}" />
<arg value="-Dversion=${manifest.implementation.version}-SNAPSHOT" />
<arg value="-Dpackaging=jar" />
<arg value="-Dfile=../lib/${ant.project.name}-${manifest.implementation.version}-SNAPSHOT.jar" />
<arg value="-Durl=http://archiva.xxx.com/archiva/repository/snapshots" />
<arg value="-DrepositoryId=snapshots" />
</exec>
I have a similar Ant target for releases and this works fine.
Other pure Maven projects which deploy snapshosts via mvn deploy work fine.
Does anyone know where I am going wrong?
Thank You
Update
Figured out the answer, see below.
