David Hoffer commented on MOJO-539:
-----------------------------------
What is the status of this? This would be very useful. Are there any builds
that contain the flat repositoryLayout & repositoryName options?

> I find the appassembler-maven-plugin really valuable, especially since I was
> just about to start manually writing my own bat/sh scripts...
> However I wonder if this plugin does not partly overlap with the
> maven-assembly-plugin [1] or the dependency-maven-plugin [2].
> Maybe appassembler should be only about generating scripts and be able to
> collaborate with the other plugins for the remaining part ?
> My requirement was to have appassembler manage the following layout :
> . bin/ scripts
> . lib/ all jars
> Thus a good old flat distribution (like maven itself for example).
> The maven-assembly-plugin is already able to handle the 'lib/' part and I was
> looking for a solution to have appassembler collaborate with it.
> I realized this was not exactly possible because of the way appassembler
> outputs artifacts to a repository.
> So I patched it :
> . the first step was to add a 'repositoryName' configuration variable in
> order to be able to customize the hard-coded "repo" (so I can set it to "lib"
> instead).
> . the next step was to add a 'flat' repositoryLayout that would install all
> the artifacts in the "repo" root directory.
> . the last step was to add a 'installArtifacts' boolean configuration flag
> to be able not to generate the "repo" (this feature is actually not really
> mandatory).
> Therefore I was able to achieve my goal by combining appassembler with the
> assembly plugin : appassembler only creates "bin" scripts which are then
> included in the assembly process.
> Here is what my pom looks like :
