How "build" and deploy a plain text maven artifact

Question

I have a maven module for holding a plain text file that I need to "build" (rename the file with name-version-classifier.extension format) and deploy on my maven repository. I know I can deploy it via command line but I want to know if i can write a pom.xml whereby I can achive the same result.

LDM.

From the discussion How to attach a text file to a module's distribution? :

In the past i've made use of the Build Helper plug-in to attach additional artifacts https://www.mojohaus.org/build-helper-maven-plugin

The example of how to attach additional artifacts to your project shows how to attach a file; make your module of type pom and the additional artifact will be the only artifact deployed:

  <plugin>
    <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
    <artifactId>build-helper-maven-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>1.8</version>
    <executions>
      <execution>
        <id>attach-artifacts</id>
        <phase>package</phase>
        <goals>
          <goal>attach-artifact</goal>
        </goals>
        <configuration>
          <artifacts>
            <artifact>
              <file>some file</file>
              <type>extension of your file </type>
              <classifier>optional</classifier>
            </artifact>
            ...
          </artifacts>
        </configuration>
      </execution>
    </executions>
  </plugin>
