             Summary: ApplicationBundler will overwrite dependencies with 
identical names
                 Key: TWILL-182
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TWILL-182
             Project: Apache Twill
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: core
    Affects Versions: 0.7.0-incubating
            Reporter: Martin Serrano


If two jars obtained from *different* classpath locations have the same name 
but different contents, one will overwrite the other.  The dependency code 
correctly finds the jars (uses the full path in the HashSet which accumulates 
the deps) but when the bundle is created the jars are written to {{/lib}} under 
their name.  This results in one overwriting the other.

While this is not a likely occurrence, it occurs for us in our development 
environment because our published jar names are built up from their project 
hierarchy.  For example the model project for our sdk is in {{.../sdk/model}} 
and will be on the classpath as {{.../sdk/model.jar}} and published as 
{{sdk-model.jar}}.  

In practice however this could occur with any jar name and would be more likely 
over time.

The {{ApplicationBundler}} could detect this over time and re-write the name 
with some part of the path or suffix to ensure the name is unique.
