Description

Please see the whole conversation here:

Essentially, an artifact's classifier isn't included in the repository's metadata of a snapshot. This makes it difficult (impossible?) to deploy multiply snapshots with different classifiers. The primary use case is to continuously build an artifact for different environments.

Issue Links

• is depended upon by: MNG-4965 resolver fails to find artifacts with classifiers from previous deployments
• is duplicated by: MNG-3408 Artifacts with the same pair groupId:artifactId but different type are not resolved independently
• is related to: MDEPLOY-48 deploy:deploy-file does not support deploying sources jars too
