Pat Ferrel commented on MAHOUT-1126:
------------------------------------

Right you are and so the solution has changed to delete the file, not the 
directory. Still it's a post build process thing and new people have to figure 
out the solution over and over. There used to be a special exclude in the 
examples/src/main/assembly/job.xml shown below but I don't think that works 
anymore. Maybe that could be the source of a permanent fix? I'm not a Maven 
expert.

BTW I don't build in examples but I so use it as an example of how to create a 
separate build and end up with the same problem because it includes the same 
deps and license. The problem is obviously not Mahout, but that is the 
infection vector...

     <excludes>
        <exclude>org.apache.hadoop:hadoop-core</exclude>
        <!-- This jar contains a LICENSE file in the combined package. Another 
JAR includes
          a licenses/ directory. That's OK except when unpacked on 
case-insensitive file
          systems like Mac HFS+. Since this isn't really needed, we just remove 
it. -->
        <exclude>com.github.stephenc.high-scale-lib:high-scale-lib</exclude>
      </excludes>

> On the Mac you have to remove the licenses in the mahout jar or hadoop can't 
> unjar mahout. The Mac has a case insensitive file system and so can't tell 
> the difference between LICENSE and license. This was fixed at one point 
> https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAHOUT-780
> zip -d mahout/examples/target/mahout-examples-0.8-SNAPSHOT-job.jar 
> META-INF/license/
> zip -d mahout/examples/target/mahout-examples-0.8-SNAPSHOT-job.jar 
> META-INF/LICENSE/
> Looks like as is mentioned in 
> https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAHOUT-780 
> mv target/maven-shared-archive-resources/META-INF/LICENSE 
> target/maven-shared-archive-resources/META-INF/LICENSES
> works too.
> Can this get a permanent fix?
