Re: Assembly plugin: specifying an alternative extension name for the assembly
Thanks, Joe. I've only just got round to looking into this again. I found I can get this to work by adding the following to the maven assembly plugin's components.xml file: component roleorg.codehaus.plexus.archiver.Archiver/role role-hintext/role-hint implementationorg.codehaus.plexus.archiver.zip.ZipArchiver/implementation instantiation-strategyper-lookup/instantiation-strategy /component Where 'ext' is the extension I want to use instead of zip. I've only been able to get this to work by having my own copy of the maven assembly plugin. Is there any other way to provide this configuration from outside the maven assembly plugin? Many thanks for any help. Regards, Graham.

There are only a couple of supported formats. My guess is that you'd have to write a custom Archiver to get a different extension, but haven't looked under the hood of the assembly plugin to know for sure.

Configuring components.xml into assembly plugin
Hi, I have a components.xml definition that tells the assembly plugin to use the ZipArchiver when configured with formatext/format, where 'ext' is a new file extensions to use instead of zip. The component element looks as follows: component roleorg.codehaus.plexus.archiver.Archiver/role role-hintext/role-hint implementationorg.codehaus.plexus.archiver.zip.ZipArchiver/implementation instantiation-strategyper-lookup/instantiation-strategy /component I can get this to work if I compile my own copy of the assembly plugin, updating it's plexus/components.xml to include the definitions, but the documentation seems to hint at a better way. I've just started trying to include the definition through containerDescriptorHandler / as follows: containerDescriptorHandler handlerNameext/handlerName configuration filePattern./components.xml/filePattern /configuration /containerDescriptorHandler I'm not sure if this is the right approach, but it gives me this gives me the following error: Assembly is incorrectly configured: null Assembly: null is not configured correctly: Cannot find ContainerDescriptorHandler with hint: ext I searched for examples, but can't find anything that clearly describes what I'm trying to do. Any pointers or ideas on how to fix/do this would be greatly appreciated.
