> ok, so we have packaging which specifies how the artifact will be packaged,
> and there is only one of those per POM. type is used in a dependency, and
> will always get the same POM, but might get a different artifact from the
> repository (eg, the javadocs, sources, ejb-client, tld, or a certain type of
> distribution).
> For released versions this is fine, but there can be problems when it comes
> to snapshots.
> The version assigned is per POM, rather than per file - so unless they are
> all deployed together, this will be a problem where getting the latest
> vesrion may find something missing. This was originally the intention (eg for
> ejb-clients), but some things will not be published every time.
> Possibly we could have one metadata file per artifact, but this doesn't feel
> as nice to me.
> We should definitely have:
> - any deployment of a distribution, etc MUST deploy main artifact too and
> they can all share a version
> Currently we have:
> - any later deployment of just a JAR doesn't deploy things like distributions
> as they are not attached to it
> The dependencies on distributions for that snapshot will break - which seems
> fair, as they wouldn't actually be the same as the JAR anyway. You wouldn't
> want to get old sources, so if you are going to commit to deploying sources -
> deploy them every time! If not, then maybe it is reasonable not to ever make
> them available for snapshots.
> I think this is all reasonable. Is this ok?
> Are there any other issues besides this with the mismatch?
