Deploying same version overwrites existing release

[Hayes, Peter]

Is there a way to configure maven to not allow it to deploy over an
existing release artifact?

But if you use relase:prepare/release:perform then your snapshot version
number goes up afterwards and overwritting is impossible?

Yes that is true.  We are using clearcase though and the release plugin
has some limitations with regards to clearcase.  

I thought though that once a release is made, it should never be changed
as it is in the "wild" and may have already been used.  For instance, I
think recently the maven developers had a problem with the release of
the archetype plugin and they did not just re-release that version, they
moved to a new one.  If this is the recommended process, then I would
think it would be appropriate for the deploy command to (at least by
default) not allow the overwriting of an existing artifact.

Not ideal, but you could set up a cron job or similar to frequently
set -w to all the files in your deploy directories. Then you couldn't
overwrite things due to filesystem privileges.
