Benjamin Bentmann commented on MASSEMBLY-239:
---------------------------------------------
The plugin's trunk already supports the suppression of the "dir" suffix via a
new mojo parameter:
{code:java}
/**
* If this flag is set, the ".dir" suffix will be suppressed in the output
* directory name when using assembly/format == 'dir' and other formats
* that begin with 'dir'.
*
* @parameter default-value="false"
*/
private boolean ignoreDirFormatExtensions;
{code}
What I dislike about this is the default value being "false". Sure, that would
keep backward compatibility with the existing plugin versions. However, I
personally would have called the current behavior a bug. Where on earth do
people want to append ".dir" to a directory? Are there really any use-cases for
this? If not, I do not see the point in keeping a bug enabled by default.
Instead, the philosophy "convention over configuration" should take precedence
such that users get the intended behavior out-of-the-box.
