1.) Creating a MavenUploadResolver which only offers publishing functionality. It would offer a convenient way to choose and configure the Maven upload protocol. It would for example throw an exception in the case a module has more than one artifact. Alternatively/complementary a user might specify which artifact should be deployed. Basically the resolver should try its best to do the job automatically. If unmappable Ivy concepts are used, it throws an exception. Alternatively the user can decide how to downgrade. One place where Maven is not inferior I think is the protocol layer. So Ivy users will be happy with this. I haven't worked with Ivy dynamic properties yet. It should be possible to apply them also to pom uploading. The Pom generator would have to take care of this. Snapshot handling we will get out of the box.
I have the first working implementation. I have implemented a MavenUploadResolver which directly implements DependencyResolver. For all retrieval operation it throws an UnsupportedOperationException. If its publish method is called it checks the arguments for validity and assign them to field variables. If more than one pom artifact, or more than one non pom artifact, is passed an exception is thrown. The pom artifact is generated before by our pom generator. If commitPublishTransaction is called, we configure the Ant Maven deploy task and execute it. And it really works :)
The MavenUploadResolver has two public custom methods for adding normal and snapshot repositories. You can add RemoteRepository objects which are part of the Ant Maven tasks. I have never completely figured out what those snapshot repositories in Maven are about, as you can also publish snapshots to normal repositories. But here we go, I don't have to know. This is the same Maven domain model that is used for configuring the repositories in the settings.xml or pom.xml.
One thing I want to add is an artifact filter. If an ivy module has more than one artifact to publish, you can configure which ones should be included/excluded (If more than one or zero remain an exception would be thrown).
