Wendy, thank you very much! Actually, with my current version of the war plugin and your suggestion, the install and deploy phases perform exactly what I want them to... I don't need a workaround anymore.
I looked at the results of the install and deploy phases and the artifact is named with the correct classifier in both cases (after installation/deployment). Perhaps the maintainers fixed the deploy plugin.
