Adding Classifiers when building
Hello Everyone I would like to know if it is possible to add classifiers while building as a maven parameter, for example if I want to add the classifier dev to an artifact, when building. Thank you in Advance, hope to hear from you. Best Regards Ruben Fragoso

though it is usually better to stick to the well known qualifiers: alpha, beta, rc, milestone, etc On 8 July 2014 09:35, Stephen Connolly stephen.alan.conno...@gmail.com wrote: Classifiers are not for what you think they are for... they are for flagging side artifacts... and in general they should not be used. A good example of a case for side artifacts is the javadocs.jar. You normally do not depend on the javadocs jar, it is a side artifact for IDEs. If you want to flag that a specific build is, e.g. for development use, then just reflect that in the version, i.e. 1.0-dev-1-SNAPSHOT On 8 July 2014 09:21, Fragoso, Ruben ruben.frag...@ca.com wrote: Hello Everyone I would like to know if it is possible to add classifiers while building as a maven parameter, for example if I want to add the classifier dev to an artifact, when building.

Re: Adding Classifiers when building
This is a bad practice and runs counter to continuous delivery which is commonly accepted as a good thing. You always want to build in such a way that anything being built can be used as a release without any further transformation.

Re: Running maven shade on a preexisting jar
Ignore the sales pitch and the unpacking complexity. 1. Make an ordinary new project with no source code. 2. List your jar as a dependency. 3. Configure shade. It can be configured to operate on dependencies.

Extracting a reactor artifact set out of maven repo
Hi My company is doing daily release builds for quite a few components ( which fill up maven release repo after a while). and we dont use staging ( please dont drill me on this ). Eventually one of the build need to be promoted to a another repo ( ie RTM). Is there such a plugin what can extract the artifact set of a reactor, and move it to another repo. I think the move/merge into another repo can be done via wagon-maven-plugin. Assume that each component has its own top level groupId. Thanks -Dan

Maven Central's is nexus?
Hi I wonder if maven central is a nexus running smart proxy to sync all sibling repos? Thanks -Dan

Forges running Nexus instances have mostly been converted to use smart proxy to feed to Central: the largest of these is OSSRH. However, we do pull from some organizations forges using rsync and other mechanisms.
