Sebastian Geiger updated MASSEMBLY-824: --------------------------------------- Description: I recently had a usecase where I wanted to rename an artifact locally in the target/ folder. I configured the maven-assembly-plugin with the following options: {code} <appendAssemblyId>false</appendAssemblyId> <finalName>helper-${project.version}</finalName> {code} As expected the resulting name was `helper-5.0.0-SNAPSHOT.jar`. Next when I built the project I noticed warnings about a conflict with the default artifact for the project. {quote} [WARNING] Configuration options: 'appendAssemblyId' is set to false, and 'classifier' is missing. Instead of attaching the assembly file: [...]/target/helper-5.0.0-SNAPSHOT.jar, it will become the file for main project artifact. NOTE: If multiple descriptors or descriptor-formats are provided for this project, the value of this file will be non-deterministic! [WARNING] Replacing pre-existing project main-artifact file: [...]/target/my.module-5.0.0-SNAPSHOT.jar with assembly file: [...]/target/helper-5.0.0-SNAPSHOT.jar {quote} Irritated by these warnings I asked about this on [StackOverflow|http://stackoverflow.com/questions/38482839/maven-assembly-plugin-how-to-use-appendassemblyid/38484021#38484021] and received the following explanation: Essentially during installation the standard maven coordinates (G-A-V-C) are still used independent of the {{finalName}} used to for the artifact, since this only affects the local name inside the {{target}} folder. Now, when the {{appendAssemblyId}} is set to {{false}} the classifier will be dropped not only from the local name, but also from the artifact's name used during installation and there will be a clash with the default artifact name if the project's packaging is set to jar. Currently there seem to be only two solutions: # Do not set the {{appendAssemblyId}} option to {{false}}, which means that the local name used inside the target folder will still get the assemblyId appended (e.g. <finalName>-jar-with-dependencies.jar). # Alternatively, set the option {{attach}} to {{false}}, this will avoid the above mentioned warning but also means that the artifact will no longer be installed. Of course I could just ignore he warning, but the after all the warning has a reason and I would rather fix that then ignore the warning. h1. Suggested solutions: IMHO there are several solutions to resolve this: # Omit the assemblyId on the local name by default if {{finalName}} is used. Additionally change the semantics of the {{appendAssemblyId}} option to only affect the installed artifact's name. # Add an additional option to control if the assemblyId is appended to the local file name. In any case, also if none of the suggested options are feasible I suggest to document this better. * Make it clear in the {{appendAssemblyId}} option, that this affects both the local and the installed artifact's file name. Also clarify the warning that appears when this option is set to false. Also, maybe suggest to set {{attach}} to {{false}} if a conflict is detected? * Make it clear in the {{finalName}} option, that this only affects the local file name and NOT the installed artifact's file name.
