1 isn't going to work because of how Maven finds files in the repo by tracing down the file system path based on the group id and then going down the path some more based on the artifact id and expecting the jar file to have a matching name.
The real solution is to change the artifactId, which you said would be error prone. It sounds like what you have is error prone already since your build process is having trouble telling jar files with the same name apart. Sorry for no good news. Maybe someone else know more about it than i do. -- Lee On Jan 29, 2008 10:45 AM, Steve Found <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi all, > > I have two separate systems that I build using maven. > > One has groupId:com.volantis.synergetics artifactId:repository-api > version:5.0-SNAPSHOT.
