Description

The site deploy, when configured with a pom distributionManagement url zips up the local "staging" (hard-coded within the site plugin?) folder and unpacks it at the given URL. As the folder I nominated above is the project folder, I want the target folder to be the current ${project.version} but there doesn't seem a way to make it do that. As a result, every time I build, I clobber the current version. I track many branches, and versions, and want to have access to them all.

I'd like to add site configuration param like:

<siteFolder>${project.version}</siteFolder>

So that a version 1.2.3 site-deploy ends up as:

scp://webserver/var/www/html/product/1.2.3

MSITE-617 could possibly do this, however, this is a very specific slice of that.
