[ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MASSEMBLY-45?page=comments#action_64700 ]
Jesse McConnell commented on MASSEMBLY-45: ------------------------------------------ john and I talked about this a bit and we figure the best place for this right now would be to implement the mapper functionality (using the ant stuff were we can) in [EMAIL PROTECTED]/shared/file-management filesets implementation and then in the assembly plugin write a little converter from the mdo fileset spec to the filesets in [EMAIL PROTECTED]/shared/file-management. eventually this would be migrated to commons > Support for mappers in assembly desriptors > ------------------------------------------ > > Key: MASSEMBLY-45 > URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MASSEMBLY-45 > Project: Maven 2.x Assembly Plugin > Type: Bug > Reporter: Anuerin Diaz > > > I would like to forward a wish to have the assembly plugin support the notion > of file mappers similar to the ones in Ant[1]. To illustrate, assuming a > multi-module project with the following layout: > Root > |-Module1 > |-Module2 > |-Container > | |-Module3 > | |-Module4 > |-Module5 > |- pom.xml > and an assembly desriptor entry for the contained modules like this > <fileSets> > <fileSets> > <directory>Container</directory> > <outputDirectory></outputDirectory> > <includes> > <include>**/target/*.jar</include> > </includes> > </fileSets> > </fileSets> > The assembly plugin will be able to get all jar files produced by Module3 and > Module4 but the "Container/<ModuleName>/target" structure will still be > included. One workaround is to enumerate each <ModuleName> artifact but > problematic if the number of contained sub-modules is numerous. Support for > filemappers which look like this: > <fileSets> > <fileSets> > <directory>Container</directory> > <outputDirectory></outputDirectory> > <includes> > <include>**/target/*.jar</include> > </includes> > <mapper type="flatten"> > </fileSets> > </fileSets> > will cause all contained jar files to be copied without their original > structure. This feature would be useful for globbing artifact names as well > as for physically organizing project structures according to type. > [1] http://ant.apache.org/manual/CoreTypes/mapper.html -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.codehaus.org/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
