Folks, there is BZ 107032, "RFE: Allow AS7 deployments to provide
version in the artifact name", and the related PR 26 for the changes and
discussion. This has to do with potential changes in the AS7 plugin's
Deployment discovery. In short, it would allow for the same logical
deployment (EAR, WAR...) to be discovered as different versions of the
same resource, based on versioning in the artifact name.
For example, myapp-1.0.war and myapp-2.0.war would result in two
versions of the same resource, myapp.war. Currently this would result
in two resources, and likely the 1.0 variant would actually have been
removed, leaving its resource "dead" and needing to be uninventoried.
This would prevent inventory from getting littered with missing/dead
resources when the user's approach is to generate and deploy artifacts
versioned in this way.
If interested in this topic please take a look at the BZ and/or PR
comments, and feel free to add your opinions here or there. Thanks.
