Maven deploy + source classifiers

Question

I\'m trying to deploy a Maven artifact with a classifier. Since I need both the sources and the JAR (I\'m using it from GWT), I would like to get artifact-version-clas

Answer 1

Sadly, attaching a source JAR with an arbitrary classifier is not supported by the source plugin. When the source artifact is attached, the classifier is hardcoded (as of version 2.1.2 of source plugin).

You can work around the issue by getting the source plugin to generate the JAR but not attach, and attach it with the build helper plugin's attach artifact goal.

    org.codehaus.mojo
    build-helper-maven-plugin
    1.7
    
        
            attach-source-jar
            package
            
                attach-artifact
            
            
                
                    
                        ${project.build.directory}/${project.build.finalName}-prod-sources.jar
                        jar
                        prod-sources
