artifact config parameter ignored with pom packaging

[clafren1]

Hi,
I use a parent pom for both project inheritance and project aggregation, hence the pom packaging.
That parent pom creates an artifact which contains some submodules files.

I'd like to avoid deploying that artifact if the checksums (locally built & previously deployed) are identical.
But the plugin always uses the pom.xml file as the local file instead of whatever I specify with the <artifact> config parameter.
So the checksum comparison never matches.

I'm running the 0.15.2 version of the plugin with Maven 3.9.14

Thanks for your insights.
