Automatically generating download links
I'd like to put a section with download links on the generated site's
index page. For the time being, I only need a link to the latest
snapshot. Preferrably in a form that remains valid over time. What I
have in mind is a link to mycomponent-latest.jar (or something) which
gets redirected to, say, mycomponent-20050117.200534.jar.
My current non-solution is that I have a file
xdocs/mycomponent-latest.html containing the redirection stuff with a
placeholder (@DSTAMP@) tag. The file gets copied to the right place by
Maven, but I still have to manually change the placeholder to the
actual value. Is there a way to automate this task or achieve my goal
in another way?

Thanks, I'll have a look. If nothing helps, I can always fall back to
ant.

The project is not yet ready to be put in an official repository. It's
just a collection of my utility classes and its undergoing frequent and
sometimes rampant changes. I'll see if I can set up a repository on my
own site.

I want versions to be identifiable by the name of the jar.
Thanks for your suggestions.

You'd need to set a filter using the snapshot's version (I'm not sure
if that property is even exposed though), and copy with filtering
turned on before publishing the site.
Here's another thought: why not SSI/IFRAME the *-snapshot-version file
directly from the repository? site does not need republishing to be up
to date then.
Or another one: why do you need to know the version at all? Why not
just use the SNAPSHOT indicator?
