[M2] How to override artifact name in dependency?

[Jose Gonzalez Gomez <jg...@gmail.com>]

Hi there,

I'd like to use the postgresql jdbc driver
(http://www.ibiblio.org/maven2/postgresql/postgresql/7.4.1/) as a
dependency in my project, but the artifact name
(postgresql-7.4.1-jdbc3.jar) doesn't follow the standard artifact name
used in maven. In Maven1 we had the <jar/> element inside
<dependency/> for such cases, but this doesn't seem to be present in
the Maven2 project descriptor. How must this be done now?

Thanks in advance, best regards
Jose

For this specific one, we need to add a <classifier /> tag to
<dependency />, which would specify the jdbc3 part. This is on the
assumption that, say, -jdbc2 was exactly the same project, just built
differently. For now there is no workaround.

In regards to <jar/> - ok, this is certainly due for a FAQ.

Similar to here:
http://maven.apache.org/faq.html#unversioned-jars

Basically, you don't change the name in the repository. The repository
must keep all the information. This includes the local repository.

However, when you come to use the file (eg distribute it), you can
rename it however you would like.

Cheers,
Brett

This is a case of a wrong artifact name on ibiblio. It should
be changed. You cannot change the artifact name in the pom.

What I did was download the jar manually and rename it in my
local repository. If other people use your project you best
file a JIRA issue about the wrong naming of the artifact on ibiblio.
