I guess the repository is not an issue. I can't deploy the jars/wars/ears with artifact-x.z.y-snapshot name formatting.
Since I will not use Maven's deployment mechanism I think I will resort to the dependency plugin. It will in a sense mimic what happens now. Artifacts are ftp-ed from M1 repository (jars/wars/ears directories) to final destination. I will just have one common directory instead of 3. Thank you Wendy for pointing me to Dependency plugin! If it works as intended I will share my solution soon.
