IIUC, we can submit patches for this sort of change. The repo on GitHub is: https://github.com/apache/maven-plugins/blob/trunk/maven-dependency-plugin/src/site/apt/examples/copying-artifacts.apt.vm As of this writing, the lines in question are: https://github.com/apache/maven-plugins/blob/a2943b37832f8787147b1bfd292e1a13be2ec672/maven-dependency-plugin/src/site/apt/examples/copying-artifacts.apt.vm#L43-L67 And looking at the repo, it seems that PRs are being accepted. So I filed one: https://github.com/apache/maven-plugins/pull/52 Cheers, Curtis On Thu, May 7, 2015 at 10:56 PM, Ron Wheeler <rwhee...@artifact-software.com > wrote: > In > http://maven.40175.n5.nabble.com/copy-libraries-to-classpath-td110698.html, > Brian Fox wrote a key response with a reference to an obscure reference in > the dependency FAQ athttps:// > maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-dependency-plugin/examples/copying-artifacts.html > > Buried in the FAQ under copying from the command line it states "you must > not put the configuration inside the/executions/tag." > > This should be added as a configuration and explanation to the main > examples page at > https://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-dependency-plugin/examples/copying-project-dependencies.html > > <project> > [...] > <build> > <plugins> > <plugin> > <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> > <artifactId>maven-dependency-plugin</artifactId> > <version>2.10</version> > <executions> > <execution> > <id>copy-dependencies</id> > <phase>package</phase> > <goals> > <goal>copy-dependencies</goal> > </goals> > <configuration> > > <outputDirectory>${project.build.directory}/alternateLocation</outputDirectory> > <overWriteReleases>false</overWriteReleases> > <overWriteSnapshots>false</overWriteSnapshots> > <overWriteIfNewer>true</overWriteIfNewer> > </configuration> > </execution> > </executions> > </plugin> > </plugins> > </build> > [...] > </project> > > If you are running from the command line of from an IDE, you need to > change the position of the configuration section to be a sibling of the > <executions> element > > <project> > [...] > <build> > <plugins> > <plugin> > <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> > <artifactId>maven-dependency-plugin</artifactId> > <version>2.10</version> > <configuration> > > <outputDirectory>${project.build.directory}/alternateLocation</outputDirectory> > <overWriteReleases>false</overWriteReleases> > <overWriteSnapshots>false</overWriteSnapshots> > <overWriteIfNewer>true</overWriteIfNewer> > </configuration> > <executions> > <execution> > <id>copy-dependencies</id> > <phase>package</phase> > <goals> > <goal>copy-dependencies</goal> > </goals> > </execution> > </executions> > </plugin> > </plugins> > </build> > [...] > </project> > > > > -- > Ron Wheeler > President > Artifact Software Inc > email: rwhee...@artifact-software.com > skype: ronaldmwheeler > phone: 866-970-2435, ext 102 > >
