使用Snapshot策略在nexus工件上进行部署，但版本中没有SNAPSHOT字符串

Question

apparently my Nexus is rejecting every deploy I throw at him if the artifact has not -SNAPSHOT in the version.

Data:

• name of the failing artifact: entando-core-engine-experiment-bundles_with_bootstrap.jar where experiment-bundles_with_bootstrap is the version as in the version element of the pom.xml
• hosted repository policy on my Nexus: Snapshot, allow redeploy and so on (classic conf for snapshots)
• deployer: Jenkins 1.481
• same Jenkins job, but entando-core-engine- SNAPSHOT .jar ---> SUCCESS

I need this naming convention because I'm building one of the several experiments we run internally, as opposite to the canonical develop branch which produces a proper entando-core-engine-SNAPSHOT.jar

Any advice? I'm totally lost.

Answer 1

The thing is that usually your Nexus is configured not to allow a redeployment of a release. A release from Maven point of view is an artifact where it's version it NOT -SNAPSHOT . In contradiction a SNAPSHOT is intended to be deployed several times into nexus.
This sounds like you don't using the release plugin of Maven nor the Release PLugin of Jenkins.

Answer 2

Nexus is a repository manager that uses different repository formats, with the main format being the Maven repository format. Changing the names of artifacts on the server is not possible since it violates the format. They have to be located in the directory structure established by groupId, artifactId and version and use the artifactId-version-classifier.packaging for the file names.

If you need a different file name on the server you have to look at a different repository format (bad idea). If you need the filename on the client just download from the correct name and rename..
