Make unpack mojos check timestamp of archive entry when overIfNewer=true
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MDEP-140
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MDEP-140
Project: Maven 2.x Dependency Plugin
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: unpack, unpack-dependencies
Affects Versions: 2.0
Reporter: Benjamin Bentmann
Assignee: Brian Fox
I intended to use the {{unpack}} mojo with the following configuration
{code:xml}
<overWriteReleases>false</overWriteReleases>
<overWriteSnapshots>false</overWriteSnapshots>
<overWriteIfNewer>true</overWriteIfNewer>
{code}
to copy files from a JAR somewhere into the src/ hierarchy of another project,
if and only if
- the target file does not exist yet or
- the target file is older than the file from the JAR
Unlike the related Ant task UnZip, the mojo does not check the timestamps of
the archive entries against the timestamps of the target files. In my case,
this leads to the unwanted effect that target files are always overwritten,
even if they are newer.
The Plexus {{UnArchiver}} has a property {{overwrite}} that should be used by
the plugin when unpacking files.
