Johan Sjöberg commented on MWAR-211: ------------------------------------ Using <outputFileNameMapping> to control the name of the jar-file produced by the <archiveClasses> tag has _SERIOUS_ side effects. Sure, the jar-file produced from our sources are given the name, but so are also every other external dependency (declared by maven <dependency>...</dependency> tags). So again, I really propose a tag similar to <archiveName>myname.jar</archiveName>, to be able to control the name of the jar produced from the project sources. pom.xml excerpt using outputFileNameMapping: <plugin> <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> <artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId> <version>2.1-beta-1</version> <configuration> <archiveClasses>true</archiveClasses> <outputFileNameMapping>prefix-${project.artifactId}-${project.version}.jar</outputFileNameMapping> </configuration> </plugin> > Ability to rename a dependency's jar when putting it on the lib folder > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MWAR-211 > URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MWAR-211 > Project: Maven 2.x WAR Plugin > Issue Type: New Feature > Reporter: Magno Machado Paulo > Attachments: TestMaven.rar > > > Maven put on my 'lib' folder the jars of my project's dependencies named like > <artefactId>-<version>.jar > This is a problem when we need to reference the jar filename from sourcecode, > because if we change the dependency version, we have to track all source code > references to it and correct them.
