> Key: MEAR-171
> URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MEAR-171
> Project: Maven 2.x Ear Plugin
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 2.8
> Reporter: Darryl L. Miles

> What is the logic with the seemingly non-standard conversion groupId by
> replacing '.' with '-' in the "full" mode ? Surely this mode should have
> been called "full-with-groupId-rewrite".
> The purpose of this decision should have been documented in the code, someone
> needs to do so or make this format obsolete.
> Alternately the field should look at the maven-war-plugin and the ability to
> support mapping like:
> @{groupId}@.@{artifactId}@@{dashClassifier?}@-@{version}@.@{extension}@
> Also the ${project.finalName} and ${project.name} would be useful (taken out
> of the dependency's own POM, not the EAR project).
> If this unusual replacement of groupId is required, then maybe
> @{groupIdReplaceDots}@ can be provided.
> The problem is that the names used are IMPORTANT to know and automate because
> it maybe necessary to place them on the Class-Path in MANIFEST.MF files.
> This non-standard choice needs to be explained because it really is
> non-intuitive and there are no other mechanisms across the maven plugins to
> manage and rewrite Class-Path values in accordance with this convention.
> There is on the other hand clear ways to configure a project and decide on
> the output file names on a project by project basis. This is what should be
> the default, what the project itself decided it wanted to be called like
> ${project.finalName}.
> The Maven documentation should include complete example of this "full"
> behaviour along with explanation of why it is useful to the user.
