Markus KARG created MDEP-481:
--------------------------------
Summary: <destFileName> is getting ignored
Key: MDEP-481
URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MDEP-481
Project: Maven Dependency Plugin
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 2.10
Environment: Win 7 Pro SP1, 64 Bit, JDK 8u40
Reporter: Markus KARG
With the following configuration, the entry <destFileName> is getting ignored,
but the original name as matched by the <includes> pattern is used for the
destination file name:
<artifactItem>
<groupId>g</groupId>
<artifactId>a</artifactId>
<type>t</type>
<includes>prefix*suffix.ext</includes>
<destFileName>name.ext</destFileName>
</artifactItem>
This is problematic in case the exact file name is unknown or irrelevant, e. g.
if a file shall be picked by prefix solely, while the suffix (version,
classifier, etc.) are irrelevant, as the destFileName would leave out suffix
anyways.
As it is the POM author's responsibility to not overwrite files, the default
behaviour should not be to ignore <destFileName> in case of multiple pattern
matches, but the files should simply auto-overwrite each other. Typically the
default use case where a POM author would use patterns and destFileName at the
same time, anyways is when he knows for sure there is can be only one match.
