> Key: MASSEMBLY-846
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MASSEMBLY-846
> Project: Maven Assembly Plugin
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 3.0.0
> Reporter: Robert Klaus
>
> The "improvement" done in MASSEMBLY-817 makes some usecases very inconvenient:
> We need to create an archive with one stable name (independent of e.g.
> version) so we don't have to propagate these information to a bunch of
> scripts.
> The general solution (i.e. Stack-overflow) refers exactly to the finalName:
> [http://stackoverflow.com/questions/20697144/can-not-set-the-final-jar-name-with-maven-assembly-plugin]
> *Please change finalName back to a settable property.*
> It being settable does not hurt anyone satisfied with the default naming
> convention but makes some usecases vastly simpler (otherwise you have to
> rename the artifact using yet another plugin or propagate version info
> possibly through a chain of scripts)
