Alexander Ekushev created MASSEMBLY-663:
-------------------------------------------
Summary: Allow to include transitive dependency attachments
Key: MASSEMBLY-663
URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MASSEMBLY-663
Project: Maven Assembly Plugin
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: dependencySet
Affects Versions: 2.4
Reporter: Alexander Ekushev
Priority: Minor
Say I want to create an assembly that contains jars, sources and javadocs for
the module and all its dependencies.
Currently it works for jar dependencies only, but I cannot retrieve sources and
javadocs unless I mention them in the pom.
In the attached example module b depends on module a and I has to specify its
dependencies 3 times: as a jar, sources and javadoc.
The result I am trying to assembly is:
{pre}
b-1.0
javadoc
a-1.0-javadoc.jar
b-1.0-javadoc.jar
lib
a-1.0.jar
b-1.0.jar
src
a-1.0-sources.jar
b-1.0-sources.jar
{pre}
It would be convenient if I could mention the dependency only once. There can
be variants to make this happen:
* Add a flag (e.g. "useTransitiveProjectAttachments") to include all transitive
project attachments
* Add a classifier to add to dependencies (similar to "attachmentClassifier" in
moduleSet/binaries)
Please close this issue, if assembly-plugin is not suited for this purposes.
Required functionality can be achieved by using
dependency:copy-dependencies goal to download all dependencies - but it lacks
the outputFileNameMapping feature of the assembly plugin.
