Use release or snapshot repository for manual deployment depending on the project version

Question

I want to configure a manual file deployment to a remote repository using either the snapshot repository (using configured property project.distributionManagement.snapshotRepository.url) if the current version of the project is a snapshot version or to the release repository (using configured property project.distributionManagement.repository.url) otherwise.

I want to deploy a swagger json schema to the repository and I did not find any way other than a manual deployment.

There is a work around using builder helper bsh to use the correct repository from the distribution management configuration. It sets a property with the correct value. Then the maven deploy plugin is called with the goal deploy-file and this URL.

                <source>deploy.url = project.getVersion().endsWith("-SNAPSHOT") ? project.getDistributionManagement().getSnapshotRepository().getUrl() : project.getDistributionManagement().getRepository().getUrl() ;</source>
