Clarify or fix <file> relative scoping in assembly descriptor to be module
centric or location of mvn execution
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MASSEMBLY-150
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MASSEMBLY-150
Project: Maven 2.x Assembly Plugin
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 2.1
Environment: windows xp
Reporter: Harold Shinsato
According to
http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-assembly-plugin/assembly.html, the
assembly descriptor's <file> source is supposed to be absolute or relative from
the module's directory. This works when I execute mvn in the module directory.
But when I run it from a top level super project, it seems to run from that
higher level project. This isn't how the <fileSet> works, which we were using
before, but we needed to set filtering to true, which caused this to break.
So this is how we have to write this to make this work from the top level, but
it breaks when running the assembly from this directory.
<files>
<file>
<source>fileutil/src/main/scripts/FileUploadUtility.bat</source>
<outputDirectory>file-utility</outputDirectory>
<filtered>true</filtered>
</file>
</files>
This is how it used to be specified, where it worked both from the top level
and from the subdirectory:
<fileSets>
<fileSet>
<directory>../fileutil</directory>
<outputDirectory>file-utility</outputDirectory>
<includes>
<include>FileUploadUtility.bat</include>
</includes>
</fileSet>
</fileSets>
Hopefully this won't make a difference, but we've plugged our assembly into the
execution of the package phase. This is copied from the pom.xml of the module.
