Deploy an artifact with classifier

Classifiers are the additional text given to describe an artifact.

  artifact-name-1.0-bin.jar
  artifact-name-1.0-dev.jar
  artifact-name-1.0-prod.jar

From the above artifact names, classifiers can be located between the version and extension name of the artifact.

  • bin is used to describe that the artifact is a binary.
  • dev is used to describe that the artifact is for development.
  • prod is used to describe that the artifact is for production.

To add classifier into your artifact for your deployment, set the text to the classifier parameter.

mvn deploy:deploy-file -Durl=file://C:\m2-repo \
                       -DrepositoryId=some.id \
                       -Dfile=path-to-your-artifact-jar \
                       -DpomFile=path-to-your-pom.xml \
                       -Dclassifier=bin
