Hi Karl Heinz, thanks for your answer.
Yes, we could change the code with the filename check. But I'm loath to do it since it is a 3rd party jar file and we had to do this every time a new version is released... I'm just surprised that there is no other way or means to tell Maven that a different naming scheme should be used... Deployment at customer site is no problem, the nexus and naming issue only affects us during development. -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Karl Heinz Marbaise [mailto:khmarba...@gmx.de] Gesendet: Freitag, 5.

So first question: Why not changing the code which checks the filename and follow the naming convention..? What you can do is to get the appropriate artifact via plugin (like maven-dependency-plugin) and rename it during the packaging of your distribution archive (which i assume you have?) Or are we talking about an EAR file?
