Maven profile and artifact version

Question

Assume we have maven multimodule project "Foo":

Foo
|-web-module-war
  |-dependency-jar

There are two profiles defined for moduleC:

    <profile>
        <id>poll-some-external-service</id>
        <properties>
            <dependency-jar.poll.configured>true</dependency-jar.poll.configured>
        </properties>
    </profile>
    <profile>
        <id>produce-some-product</id>
        <properties>
            <dependency-jar.poll.configured>false</dependency-jar.poll.configured>
        </properties>
    </profile>

Now we run two builds:

1. mvn clean package -P poll-some-external-service
2. mvn clean package -P produce-some-product

First build produce following artifacts:

web-module-war-1.0.0-poll.war
dependency-jar-1.0.0-poll.war

Second build produce following artifacts:

web-module-war-1.0.0-produce.war
dependency-jar-1.0.0-produce.war

This means that war file contains web application which works in a different way based on selected profile.

Naming is based on the following configuration in the parent pom.xml:

    <plugin>
        <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
        <artifactId>maven-jar-plugin</artifactId>
        <version>2.6</version>
        <configuration>
            <jarName>${project.build.finalName}${foo.build.info}</jarName>
        </configuration>
    </plugin>
    <plugin>
        <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
        <artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId>
        <version>2.6</version>
        <configuration>
            <warName>${project.build.finalName}${foo.build.info}</warName>
        </configuration>
    </plugin>

How can I deploy these artifacts into Nexus? -poll/-produce part is stripped during deployment. This means we have two different applications of the same version but we can deploy only one of them

Thanks

Instead of changing the name use a classifier

<plugin>
    <artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId>
    <configuration>
        <classifier>poll</classifier>
    </configuration>
</plugin>

Your profile for the pom should look similar to the following example. Note that you have to change the dependencies by using the profile too.

    <profile>
        <id>poll</id>
        <build>
            <plugins>
                <plugin>
                    <artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId>
                    <configuration>
                        <classifier>poll</classifier>
                    </configuration>
                </plugin>
            </plugins>
            <dependencies>
                <dependency>
                    <groupId>${project.groupId}</groupId>
                    <artifactId>dependency-jar</artifactId>
                    <classifier>poll</classifier>
                </dependency>
            </dependencies>
        </build>
    </profile>
