add a 'failIfArtifactNotFound' boolean property to copy goal
------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MDEP-135
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MDEP-135
Project: Maven 2.x Dependency Plugin
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: copy
Affects Versions: 2.0
Reporter: Ian Springer
Assignee: Brian Fox
This parameter would be optional and would default to true.
Here is my use case for wanting such a parameter... In our project, we support
both Oracle and Postgres and like to bundle the JDBC driver jars for both these
DBs in our distribution. However, due to licensing issues, the Oracle JDBC
driver jar is not available on any public Maven repos. However, if a member of
our team is building our distribution internally, they would have access to an
internal repo that does have the Oracle jar. Or someone might have manually
installed the Oracle jar into their local repo. In either case, we'd like to be
able to configure the copy goal to copy the Oracle jar into our distribution if
it is accessible, but otherwise to proceed without failing the build (maybe
just printing an INFO message stating that the jar could not be found and so
was not copied).
Here's an example usage of the parameter:
<execution>
<id>copy</id>
<phase>package</phase>
<goals>
<goal>copy</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<artifactItems>
<artifactItem>
<groupId>com.oracle</groupId>
<artifactId>ojdbc14</artifactId>
<version>10.2.0.3.0</version>
<failIfArtifactNotFound>false</failIfArtifactNotFound>
<outputDirectory>target/dist-dir/lib</outputDirectory>
</artifactItem>
</artifactItems>
</configuration>
</execution>
