assembly plugin and jar plugin disagree about whether to use uniqueVersion 
snapshot names
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: MASSEMBLY-211
                 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MASSEMBLY-211
             Project: Maven 2.x Assembly Plugin
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 2.2-beta-1
            Reporter: Max Bowsher
            Priority: Blocker


Background: Consider the following setup:
jar-plugin configured with addClasspath=true, writing list of dependency jar 
file names into manifest of project jar.
assembly-plugin configured with a dependencySet pulling all dependencies into a 
single directory.
Result: application is runnable with with "java -jar mainartifact.jar"

There has long been a problem (i.e. with assembly-plugin 2.1) that when 
deployed snapshot jars were in use, the jar and assembly plugins would disagree 
in whether the uniqueVersion name was used, and this is MNG-2456.

However, assembly-plugin 2.2-beta-1 has introduced further complications to the 
situation by not using the lifecycle's default set of resolved artifacts, but 
by running a manual resolution of its own. This has made the two plugins 
disagree in more scenarios than before, and broke the workaround patch that I 
posted in MNG-2456.

At the root of these problems is some very peculiar handling of the 'file', 
'baseVersion' and 'version' fields of Artifact objects, two notable instances 
of which are the DefaultArtifact.isSnapshot method, which despite being an 
accessor, actually changes the state of the object, and the 
DefaultArtifactResolver.resolve method, which contains some rather bizarre 
manipulation of the 'file' field (more detail may comments in MNG-2456).

An interim fix to this issue might involve workarounds in both the jar and 
assembly plugins to get them to agree. A true fix probably also involves fixing 
Maven core classes.
