Brett Porter updated MNG-735:
-----------------------------
Component: (was: maven-plugins)
maven-assembly-plugin
> Assembly plugin to support 'directory' archive type
> ---------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: MNG-735
> URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-735
> Project: Maven 2
> Type: Improvement
> Components: maven-assembly-plugin
> Reporter: Daniel Krisher
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 2.0-beta-2
> Attachments: AssemblyMojo.java.diff, AssemblyMojo.java.diff,
> DirectoryArchiver.java, descriptor.mdo.diff
>
>
> Add the ability for the assembly plugin to create an assembly on the native
> file system (i.e. a directory) that is not an archive (zip/jar/tar/etc).
> The assembly plugin supports configuration of a directory structure
> containing pom dependencies and other files based on the specified assembly
> xml definition. Presently this is used to create various types of archives.
>
> Using the assembly plugin is the only way I have found to create the correct
> directory structure for an application I am developing however I would like
> to do this without actually archiving the components (i.e. create the file
> structure but don't tar/zip/etc it). Building (and compressing) the archive
> takes a significant amount of time, and more often than not, we don't ever
> use the archive (except to extract the contents to the filesystem, run the
> application for testing, and never use it again), at least during
> development.
> I propose adding a 'directory' archive type that simply copies the xml
> specified files/dependencies to a specified path. This archive type might be
> specified in the assembly xml file, or alternatively, via a runtime
> parameter (profile/property) overriding the archive type(s) specified in the
> assembly xml, for use during development.
> I am currently working on a solution as this will be useful for our
> application that is built with m2, I will submit a patch as soon as I have
> something workable.
