ui.content - mutable content package redeploy

[DanielM5]

Is it possible for ui.content package to be redeployed during pipeline run without changing the version or deleting old package.

1. I run pipeline to deploy my application (both immutable and mutable packages) to dev enviroment

2. I make some changes in ui.content and ui.apps 

3. I run pipeline again to deploy changes (no version changes in pom.xml)

4. Changes in ui.apps are deployed but no ui. content. There is information that ui.content-x.y.z is already in repository so it won't be installed

I would like ui.content-x.y.z to be redeployed (without changing version number - really development for dev enviroment with always changing version or deleting ui.content package is very impractical

If it is for dev environment then I would suggest to use snapshot in the version so that installing same version will update files.

Hello @DanielM5 

• For dev environment, we should use SNAPSHOT versions. SNAPSHOTS can be replaced with the same version number any number of times.
• For prod environment, SNAPSHOTS shouldn't be used. This would assure that any fix is always versioned. This avoids any surprises.
