Andreas Sewe commented on MDEP-776:
-----------------------------------
{quote}You could use prependGroupId to disambuguate.

Yes, there are workarounds, e.g., {{useRepositoryLayout}} as proposed by the
OP. However, sometimes you want to use {{copy-dependencies}} or
{{unpack-dependencies}} to create a specific directory structure. In that case,
a simple *warning* that the structure you want is not possible because of name
clashes would make debugging much easier.
{quote}I wonder if it would make sense to mangle the names a bit if there are
two artifacts with different group IDs but same artifact ID?
{quote}
Please don't introduce any complex name mangling, in particular not if
predicated on some condition like there being clashing names. Oftentimes, you
want a specific file and directory structure for further
processing/repackaging, and anything the structure produced by
{{copy-dependencies}} less predictable is problematic, IMHO.
> copy-dependencies overwrites artifacts of the same artifact id

>
> Key: MDEP-776
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MDEP-776
> Project: Maven Dependency Plugin
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: copy-dependencies
> Affects Versions: 3.1.2, 3.2.0
> Reporter: Nikolaos Georgiou
> Assignee: Elliotte Rusty Harold
> Priority: Major
>
> We have a project which has 2 dependencies of different groupId but same
> artifactId and version, e.g. com.acme:foo:1.2.3 and com.ecorp:foo:1.2.3
> We use the copy-dependencies goal of the plugin to copy libraries under
> target/lib folder.
> Actual Result:
> * only one foo.jar survives in the target/lib folder. The other one silently
> gets overwritten. This leads to difficult to diagnose runtime errors, as one
> JAR is missing.
>
> Expected Result:
> * it should at least give a warning, if not an error, that it has
> overwritten an artifact during this process
>
> Known workaround:
> * we activated useRepositoryLayout, which allows both artifacts to survive
> under a directory structure, which complicates a bit our classpath building
> process (from target/lib/* we need to find all the JARs with a bit of bash
> glue)
