Hi all,
I am using the maven-assembly-plugin to copy some dependencies around.
Unfortunately, I have to rename them in some fairly arbitrary fashion,
i.e., the final name has nothing to do with the dependencies artifactId
or groupId. (And no, I can't change that!)
According to the Maven Reference it should be possible to use a property
defined in the dependency's POM as the name of the output file, but
cannot make enough sense of the following (from
<http://www.sonatype.com/books/mvnref-book/reference/assemblies-sect-output-algorithm.html#assemblies-sect-interpolate>)
to figure out how I have to name this property:
If the expression matches the pattern ${artifact.*}:
1. Match against the dependency’s Artifact instance (resolves: groupId,
artifactId, version, baseVersion, scope, classifier, and file.*)
2. Match against the dependency’s ArtifactHandler instance (resolves:
expression)
3. Match against the project instance associated with the dependency’s
Artifact (resolves: mainly POM properties)
If I put <artifact.final.name>arbitrary</artifact.final.name> in the
dependency's POM and
<outputFileNameMapping>{artifact.final.name}.dat</outputFileNameMapping>
in my assembly descriptor's <dependencySet> I think it should work --
only it doesn't. The copied dependency ends up named
"{artifact.final.name}.dat". :-(
Any thoughts?
