publishing a pom to the repository

I'm using a maven-style local repository and I'd like to keep it usingpom files and not ivy.xml files.

In other words if I have an artifact in my repository, I'd like it tobe identified by a pom-style xml file not an ivy-style xml file.


So here's an example from my repository:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] repository]$ cd joda-time/joda-time/
[EMAIL PROTECTED] joda-time]$ ls
1.5
[EMAIL PROTECTED] joda-time]$ cd 1.5/
[EMAIL PROTECTED] 1.5]$ ls
joda-time-1.5.jar  joda-time-1.5.pom
[EMAIL PROTECTED] 1.5]$ cat joda-time-1.5.pom
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project>
  <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
  <groupId>joda-time</groupId>
  <artifactId>joda-time</artifactId>
  <version>1.5</version>
</project>

Here's what I've done. Before I publish my artifact to the repositoryI do the following

<ivy:makepom ivyfile="${basedir}/ivy.xml" pomfile="${basedir}/module.pom">

                           <mapping conf="default" scope="server"/>
                        </ivy:makepom>

                <ivy:publish artifactspattern="@{jar-dir}/[artifact].[ext]"
                    resolver="local"
                    status="integration"
                    forcedeliver="true"
                                overwrite="true"/>

But during my publish I always see:

[ivy:publish] published ivy to /home/maven/repository/twc/mas-coredn-ondemand/5.1/mas-coredn-ondemand-5.1.pom

This is confusing because in my resolver configurations my ivy patternis set to look for poms


<ivysettings>
  <settings defaultResolver="chained" checkUpToDate="true" />

  <resolvers>
        <chain name="chained">
                <filesystem name="local" changingPattern="none" 
latest="latest-time">

<ivy pattern="${ivy.settings.dir}/repository/[organisation]/[module]/[revision]/[module]-[revision].pom"/><artifact pattern="${ivy.settings.dir}/repository/[organisation]/[module]/[revision]/[artifact]-[revision].[ext]"/>

            </filesystem>

<ssh name="shared" user="maven" userPassword="maven"host="10.143.8.95" changingPattern="none" latest="latest-time"><ivy pattern="/home/maven/repository/[organisation]/[module]/[revision]/[module]-[revision].pom"/><artifact pattern="/home/maven/repository/[organisation]/[module]/[revision]/[artifact]-[revision].[ext]"/>

                </ssh>
        </chain>
  </resolvers>
</ivysettings>

Why would the publish task be smart enough to realize that if theextension is .pom then when a ivy-publish happens use the generatedpom instead of pushing the ivy.xml file?


Thanks,

Neil
