Re: Assembly plugin: specifying an alternative extension name for the assembly

2010-02-04 Thread Graham Charters
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:


  org.codehaus.plexus.archiver.Archiver
  ext
  
org.codehaus.plexus.archiver.zip.ZipArchiver
  per-lookup


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.

Hi Graham,

The extension for the assembly is configured with the  element 
of the assembly descriptor. 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.


More information is here:

Assembly plugin: specifying an alternative extension name for the assembly

2009-11-19 Thread Graham Charters
Hi,

I'm trying to create a zip file using the assembly plugin, but I'd
like it to have a different extension (not .zip).  I've tried using
, but that still insists on giving the file the .zip
extension.

Is this possible using the assembly plugin, or should I be using something else?

Many thanks for any help.

Regards, Graham.
