maven - Artifactory: Deploying Snapshots with Ant -

i deploying artifacts ant build artifactory using these targets:

this works fine normal version. can find artifacts on artifactory expected. versions "1.9.0-devel-snapshot" work fine.

but if use version contains ".snapshot" (for example "1.9.0-devel.snapshot") artifactory adds timestamp. might not big deal, reason artifactory fills snapshots , old snapshots not getting deleted. maven snapshot version behavior on artifactory set nonunique should prevent timestamps, not!

it strange, how artifacts end in repository when using ".snapshot"-version, because version folder correct, artifactnames wrong:

here repository configuration:

the topic have found far 1 (artifactory snapshot filename handling), ist not directly apply problem, because don't want timestamps.

i using artifactory 3.8.0

any , explanations appreciated

you can set maven snapshot version behavior deployer - use format sent deployer is.
in addition, can set value of max unique snapshots in order clean older snapshots. value of 0 (default) indicates there no limit on number of unique snapshots.

update

the unique snapshot version (timestamp) created ant maven plugin , not artifactory. prevent ant maven plugin generating unique snapshot version, need set value of uniqueversion property false (default true):

<artifact:deploy file="..." uniqueversion="false"> 

in addition, if artifactory identify deployed version snapshot, need use new custom layout treat ".snapshot" snapshot identifier.
fastest way copying maven layout , using \.snapshot integration revision patterns.
after creating new layout need create local repository use layout.

if not need artifactory treat version snapshot, can configure repository accept deployments of both snapshots , releases.
