Hi, I painfully discovered recently that the trunk of the assembly plugin seems to be broken. I'd been using the snapshot (20071017.162810) from http://people.apache.org/repo/m2-snapshot-repository happily for a while, but since I had to do releases, I went the hardcore way and did an internal deploy against the trunk.
I can't use the 2.2-beta-1 version because I need, amongst other things, fileSet filtering (more on that later), and the artifact type. Here's what I found broken with the trunk: - I can't build multiple artifacts from the same assembly descriptor (i.e zip and tgz), only one. This works smoothly with the aforementioned snapshot. - Severe issue: filtering a fileSet empties these files. (0 byte in the resulting zip or tgz). This also works nicely with the snapshot. It only works on the trunk if I disable filtering and lineending. - Less critical : pom properties are apparently not interpolated in assembly descriptors. I attached a small testcase the shows the issue. Unpack it and do: mvn clean install unzip -l target/assembly-trunkbuggy-1.2.3-SNAPSHOT-test.zip You should see that both copies of the test.txt file have a length of 337 bytes. Now move your local repo away for a moment, build the trunk, comment out the repositories in my test's pom, build it again, and you should see that the test.txt copies in the zip are empty. As far as I can tell, there has not been any commit since the timestamp of the snapshot that could have an obvious impact on these problems. I also tried doing deploy:deploy-file with the snapshot itself, to deploy it internally, but somehow that triggered a whole different set of problems. (ClassNotFoundExceptions etc) I'll happily report this on Jira, but I thought I'd poke here first, since it doesn't seem clear how the regression could have happened. At some point I vaguely suspected the snapshot could have been built against uncommitted code ... ? Can someone shed some light on this? Also, since it doesn't seem that the plugin is ready for a beta-2 release just yet (or is it? can anyone do it ?), could anyone assist in changing the current snapshot dependencies it has, so I could do an internal release of it, in order to proceed with our own releases ? Thanks a bunch ! -greg
