Description

In our repository we have 3 versions of an artifact being deployed at different intervals differentiated by a classifier -

artifact.war
artifact-classifier.war
artifact-classes.jar

In our pom file we are attempting to copy the main war but a classifier war has been deployed after the last deploy of the main war, so the maven-metadata.xml file looks similar to this:

<metadata modelVersion="1.1.0">
	<groupId>com.mycompany</groupId>
	<artifactId>artifact</artifactId>
	<version>1.0.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
	<versioning>
		<snapshot>
			<timestamp>20140321.173622</timestamp>
			<buildNumber>100</buildNumber>
		</snapshot>
		<lastUpdated>20140321173622</lastUpdated>
		<snapshotVersions>
			<snapshotVersion>
				<extension>pom</extension>
				<value>1.0.0-20140321.173622-100</value>
				<updated>20140321173622</updated>
			</snapshotVersion>
			<snapshotVersion>
				<extension>war</extension>
				<value>1.0.0-20140321.173040-99</value>
				<updated>20140321173040</updated>
			</snapshotVersion>
			<snapshotVersion>
				<classifier>classes</classifier>
				<extension>jar</extension>
				<value>1.0.0-20140321.173622-100</value>
				<updated>20140321173622</updated>
			</snapshotVersion>
			<snapshotVersion>
				<classifier>classifier</classifier>
				<extension>war</extension>
				<value>1.0.0-20140321.173622-100</value>
				<updated>20140321173622</updated>
			</snapshotVersion>
		</snapshotVersions>
	</versioning>
</metadata>

So the main war is on build 99, while the classifier and classes builds are on build 100.

It appears the dependency plugin is ignoring the <snapshotVersions> elements and using the value in the <snapshot> element regardless of classifier.
