Here is my final update,
I could not bind to the package phase as described in the documentation.
http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-dependency-plugin/usage.html (I copied
the template, set the variables as needed and issued 'mvn package' but the
copy was not triggered)
Maybe someone could shed some light on what I did wrong?
I configured it for use on command line as described in the second part. I
used the following template in my superpom:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-dependency-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<artifactItems>
<artifactItem>
<groupId>${project.groupId}</groupId>
<artifactId>${project.artifactId}</artifactId>
<version>${project.version}</version>
<type>${project.packaging}</type>
<destFileName>${project.build.finalName}.${project.packaging}</destFileName>
<overWrite>true</overWrite>
</artifactItem>
</artifactItems>
<outputDirectory>/mydirectory</outputDirectory>
</configuration>
</plugin>
Of course I'm setting the finalName for every project - something I had to
do anyway due to unrelated problems.
Thanks,
Dave
