Maven deploy into SNAPSHOT repository with a different suffix - maven

I'd like to mvn deploy an artifact with the suffix -DEVELOP into the pre-defined snapshot repo, but maven decides to push it into the release repository. I guess it is due to naming policy, the artifact withouth -SNAPSHOT goes to the release repo.
But if I set the snapshot repo explicitly for this deploy job, I get a 400 Bad request error. Is it because the snapshop repo only permits artifacts with the snap suffix?
Thanks in advance!

How to configure pom.xml so deploy custom artifact to remote repo (archiva)

How do I deploy an artifact into my archva repository? I want to configure my pom.xml to do this but I'm not sure how to set the groupdId and artifactId and version.
I'm under the impression this artifact must first be copied to my local repo via the install phase. How does it then get deployed to my archiva repo?
Take a look here - http://archiva.apache.org/docs/2.0.1/userguide/deploy.html Archiva have a nice guide, explaining how to deploy your artifact into it.
I hope it will help.

How to deploy my project to Maven's Central Repository when it's already in Sonatype repository

I have followed the guide of http://jroller.com/holy/entry/releasing_a_project_to_maven, and deployed my project into sonatype release repository successfully.
You can see my project in https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/releases.
But I still can't find my project in Maven's Central Repository. And not everyone's nexus has config sonatype release repo , but I'm very sure everyone has Maven central repository.
So who can tell me how to let Maven central repo collect my project?
What should I need to do now?
Did you read and follow step 6 in the description you link to:
When the artifacts are in the release repository, add a comment to the
original ticket asking for them to be published to Maven Central. For
the first time they need to do it manually but since that on it will
be synchronized automatically every hour

deploy on nexus artifacts with Snapshot policy but without SNAPSHOT string in version

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.
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.
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..

maven could not resolve dependency via my local nexus repository

I have setup an in-house Sonatype Nexus repository and configure the maven to check my local Nexus instead of getting artifacts directly from public repositories.
http://www.sonatype.com/books/nexus-book/reference/config-sect-intro.html
Our project was able to download the most artifacts except one artifact in Maven central.
Here is the build error:
Failed to execute goal on project shindig-gadgets: Could not resolve dependencies for project org.apache.shindig:shindig-gadgets:jar:3.0.0-SNAPSHOT: Could not find artifact com.ibm.icu:icu4j:jar:4.6 in nexus (http://my_nexus_repository:8081/nexus/content/groups/public) -> [Help 1]
I see that icu4j-4.6.jar does exist in the Maven central repository. On my local nexus repository, it doesn't exist. I see only icu4j-4.6.pom exists on my local nexus repository.
It's not like my nexus repository setting is totally broken. maven project has successfully downloaded numerous jar files from multiple public repositories via my local nexus maven repository except icu4j-4.6.jar.
I don't understand why I'm having a problem with only icu4j-4.6.jar. Would it be incorrectly cached on either my local maven or nexus maven repository?
If it was incorrectly cached, how can I clean the local maven or nexus maven repository?
The similar problem is described at
Missing maven dependency using nexus setup
icu4j-4.6.jar does not show up in the search list. Only icu4j-4.6.pom shows up in the search list. I don't think is Snapshot VS Release issue because icu4j-4.6.jar seems release jar.
Is it possible that the nexus repo just stopped responding for a while? You can try mvn -X (or -d?) to get detailed info about what is going on. You might also try configuring an alternative repo.
Perhaps you haven't enabled remote index downloads from Maven Central. This would explain why only the POM file appears in your local search (The only file which has been downloaded via the proxy repo).
There might be another issue causing the download failure for the jar itself.... I suppose try and solve one problem at a time :-)
Try adding -U to your mvn arguments to force an update of your local repository.
You could also have corrupt meta data in the repo. In which case, delete that artifact from the repo's cache and let it refresh.
If the artifact in question was cached in properly from the proxy repository, using mvn -U will fix the problem
However if you are seeing pom on your nexus ,this usually happens when the artifact from the proxy repository is not cached in properly. The way to fix is
1) Browse to the component in the Proxy Repository.
2) Invalidate the cache for the repository and reindex the Nexus repository.
3) run mvn clean -U

How maven decides to reference the latest artifact information

We use mvn deploy:deploy to deploy an artifact to repository manager and a developer could have done just mvn install for the same artifact, so the artifact is present under M2_HOME\.m2\repository
Will the maven runtime retrieve the artifact from the repository manager if it was updated recently than the local repository copy?
Note: We use a maven repository manager based on Apache Archiva.
The answer depends on whether you're talking about a snapshot or a release build.
Release builds have a version that doesn't end with "-SNAPSHOT", and they're final and immutable. Once installed to any repository, Maven will never update them. To your question, that means that if a dev installs a release build locally, it will never be updated from any remote repository.
Snapshot builds are always eligible to be updated from any repository. By default, Maven checks once per day for new snapshot versions, so if someone installs a snapshot locally, that snapshot will exist until Maven does its next check for snapshot updates. Then, if a newer version is in any remote repository it checks, the local one will be overwritten. You can force maven to update snapshot artifacts with the -U command line option.
