Unversioned artifacts

[Colin Hawkett <co...@morpheus.co.uk>]

Hi,

 

   We are trying to generate artifacts without maven automatically
appending the version number to the end.  For example, when building an
EAR file, we use a pre-existing application.xml and simply direct it to
be included in the META-INF of the ear.  It is not built at build-time,
so to speak.  This configuration file refers to MyWebApp.war, which is
an artifact produced by the maven build - except that maven is
determined to append the version to the end of the war file.

 

The reason we don't want maven to build the application.xml file is that
WebSphere has already put a module id in the application.xml that is
referred to in other WebSphere specific files.  I am assuming that if
this id is not retained in application.xml then the other parts break.

 

I guess there are a number of possible solutions to my problem

 

1.	My understanding of the module id is wrong, and everything would
work just fine if maven generated the application.xml, and put version
numbers on everything
2.	I will need to rename the maven artifact after it is created to
remove the version number (yuk!)
3.	Maven has a neat way for me to tell it not to append the version
number.

 

Am I looking at this right?  Has anyone got any suggestions for this
one?  Thanks,

 

Colin
