Renaming artifact to its finalName in POM before placed in /WEB-INF/lib.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MWAR-98
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MWAR-98
Project: Maven 2.x War Plugin
Issue Type: Improvement
Affects Versions: 2.0.2
Reporter: Thomas Raehalme
If you have project A with module core, it produces an artifact named
core-x.y.z.jar (or any other type). Even if build/finalName has been specified
in the POM, the file name still matches the name of the artifact when stored in
the Maven repository. This is also the name that the WAR plug-in uses when
adding the artifact to /WEB-INF/lib. If you add a module named core in project
B, there will be two core-x.y.z.jar files when creating a WAR/EAR.
There has been discussion about storing the artifact in the repository using
the finalName value, but such implementation would make automatic downloading
of artifacts much more difficult. It was therefore suggested that each plugin
should rename the artifact itself when necessary.

Therefore I suggest that the WAR plug-in renames the artifact to its finalName
before adding it to the web application. Unfortunately I cannot provide a patch
at the time of writing this. I will, however, try to provide one in the near
future.
