Configure Maven or Nexus to link trunk artifact at static URL

My current Jenkins deployment job retrieves war file generated from maven build process from Nexus repository. The deployment is done this way since I can not use hot deployment for my environments. Currently I used parameterized build with Jenkins so I can manually enter the version number for my artifact. Is there a way to configure Maven or Nexus so the artifact generate from the latest trunk build can be accessed from an static URL? For example:

http://mynexus:8081/nexus/content/repository/snapshots/com/somepackage/my-app/trunk/my-app-trunk.war

I don't know a way to do this in Nexus. But you can access the latest successful build from Jenkins, with a URL like this: http://localhost:8080/jenkins/job/jobname/lastSuccessfulBuild/my-app-trunk.war

You have to enable artifact archiving for your war file, then you can access it.

Same issue here, we discovered about :

https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Maven+Deployment+Linker

Which does the job.

Hope that helps.
