In your POM, you should configure the assembly plugin with the following:
<finalName>debug</finalName> Although I will say that this will only generate a 'target/debug.dir' directory, not a target/debug one...that's because the assembly format is always appended to the directory/file name. ...oh, and if you're creating multiple types of assemblies, you may want to stick that into an execution-level configuration block. BTW, I noticed the *.jar entry...are you trying to capture a dependencySet with that? If so, you could use: <dependencySets> <dependencySet> <outputDirectory>libs</outputDirectory> </dependencySet> </dependencySets> HTH, john On 4/26/07, ben short <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Hi, I'm trying to use the assembly plugin to create a directory in my target Dir called debug. In this I'm going to put everything i need in order to run the project in debug mode via my ide. Currently I have this assembly descriptor <assembly> <id>debug</id> <formats> <format>dir</format> </formats> <fileSets> <fileSet> <includes> <include>README*</include> <include>LICENSE*</include> <include>NOTICE*</include> </includes> </fileSet> <fileSet> <directory>target</directory> <outputDirectory>libs</outputDirectory> <includes> <include>*.jar</include> </includes> </fileSet> </fileSets> </assembly> I think I understand how to include files etc, but i cant see how i can tell it to create a directory called 'debug'. I always end up with a target/artifactname-version-debug.dir/artifactname-version. What I really want is target/debug. Is this even possible?
