problem using snapshots in JAR override

[Marcel Vehof <mv...@corp.home.nl>]

Hello,

In our organization we want to use snapshot versions of 
some of our libraries, during developing.
Normally, this would be done by stating the version number 
for the library as SNAPSHOT in project.xml
But this practice is not allowed by our build managers,
they only want references to officially released versions
in project.xml

So, I tried the JAR override feature and added the following
to build.properties (since this file is not in version control,
the content is no problem for the build managers) :

maven.jar.override=on
maven.jar.mylibrary=SNAPSHOT

This does not work as I expected, what happens is that the
snapshot dependency is downloaded, but to the home directory
of the project, with filename "Snapshot".
Also when building an EAR, the library ends up with filename
"Snapshot". Besides that this is not the correct name, it will
definitely not work if there are more than one snapshot 
dependency in the project.

Does any one know how to solve this ?

Hi,

You must specify the full name of the file

maven.jar.mylibrary=path_to_file/mylibrary-SNAPSHOT.jar

This is designed to use different file names, what you're doing using
different versions is a *very bad* idea.
