Dennis Lundberg commented on MASSEMBLY-476: ------------------------------------------- For this to work you need to do two things: 1. Add sharedDescriptors.jar as a dependency for maven-assembly-plugin. This is so the Assembly plugin can use the shared assembly descriptors. 2. Add sharedDescriptors.jar as a dependency to projects A and B. This is so that the .sh files in the jar are available as resources that can then be assembled by the Assembly plugin. > Use classpath resources as fileSets > ----------------------------------- > > Key: MASSEMBLY-476 > URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MASSEMBLY-476 > Project: Maven 2.x Assembly Plugin > Issue Type: Improvement > Affects Versions: 2.2-beta-4 > Environment: Operating System : Ubuntu 8.04 > Reporter: Leandro Aispuru > > We want to do assemblies of our projects using shared assembly descriptors > (http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-assembly-plugin/examples/sharing-descriptors.html). > Also, we want to include some directories and files in the assemblies, but > we want to store that particular directories and/or files inside the shared > descriptor artifact JAR. > For example in our shared descriptor jar is included a file > src/main/assembly/files/startup/startup.sh and we want to have the assembly > generated containing that file. > Now when we execute the assembly plugin on a project using the shared > descriptor, files contained inside sharedDescriptor.jar aren't copied into > the assembly. > The shared assembly descriptor has a fileSet defined like this: > {code:xml} > <fileSet> > <directory>files</directory> > <outputDirectory></outputDirectory> > <filtered>true</filtered> > <includes> > <include>**/*.sh</include> > <include>**/*.csh</include> > </includes> > <fileMode>0755</fileMode> > </fileSet> > {code} > And the *.sh and *.csh files are stored inside sharedDescriptors.jar. > We have a project "A" and "B" that use the shared descriptor. We want to > include sh and csh files on the assembly of A and B but the only way to do > this is that the sh and csh files are duplicated in the file structure of > both projects in /files directory instead of instead of have them only one > place ( at /files directory in sharedDescriptors project) > Is it possible to provide these files (*.csh, *.sh) within the shared > descriptor jar? > If not, we propose extending the assembly plugin so it can have defined a > FileSet in the form: > {code:xml} > <fileSet> > <directory>classpath:/assembly/files</directory> > ... > </fileSet> > {code} -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
