So I've just noticed that while we're installing snapshots, if you don't
explicitly tell maven to NOT use a unique snapshot number AND you have
say 4 generated artifacts you're installing, the metadata reflects the
last one installed.
For example, if you have a project that generates:
1 - a jar file
2 - a sources jar
3 - a zip file
4 - a war file
When you start using deploy:deploy-file, the metadata file in the
repository gets something like this:
<versioning>
<snapshot>
<buildNumber>1</buildNumber>
<timestamp>20080822.153306</timestamp>
</snapshot>
But when you go through all four items, buildNumber becomes 4. THEN -
when you have some other module that depends on these artifacts, it
fails to build because it's looking for buildNumber 4 for the jar file
and that doesn't exist. How do you install all the modules and keep the
uniqueness? Do you have to have them all bound/attached such that when
you do the regular mvn install, they're all accounted for and use
deploy:deploy?
Color me confused.
