Karl Heinz Marbaise commented on MASSEMBLY-845:
-----------------------------------------------

Can you make an example project which shows your use case (with 
maven-assembly-plugin 2.6) and a little bit more description why you need to 
set the different names and can't cope with the default ?

> MASSEMBLY-817 makes some usecases very inconvenient

>                 Key: MASSEMBLY-845
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MASSEMBLY-845
>             Project: Maven Assembly Plugin
>          Issue Type: Bug
>    Affects Versions: 3.0.0
>            Reporter: Ulf Dreyer
>            Priority: Major
>
> The "improvement" done in MASSEMBLY-817 makes some usecases very inconvenient:
> We need to create an archive with one stable name (independent of e.g. 
> version) so we don't have to propagate these information to a bunch of 
> scripts.
> The general solution (i.e. Stack-overflow) refers exactly to the finalName:
> [http://stackoverflow.com/questions/20697144/can-not-set-the-final-jar-name-with-maven-assembly-plugin]
> *Please change finalName back to a settable property.*
> It being settable does not hurt anyone satisfied with the default naming 
> convention but makes some usecases vastly simpler (otherwise you have to 
> rename the artifact using yet another plugin or propagate version info 
> possibly through a chain of scripts)
