Stephen Connolly commented on MNG-5387:
---------------------------------------
I agree with last wins. The only gotcha-cconcern I have is the forked life
cycles. Specifically a cobertura or clover forked life cycle.
If the forked life cycle doesn't splat over then it's fine
> Add ability to replace an artifact in mid-build

> Key: MNG-5387
> URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-5387
> Project: Maven 2 & 3
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Artifacts and Repositories
> Affects Versions: 3.1.0
> Reporter: Benson Margulies
> Assignee: Benson Margulies
>
> To clean up how the shade plugin works, we need an API to allow it to say,
> 'please replace the jar file that the jar plugin has given you with this
> other one here.'
> It turns out we already more or less have this method, due to a collection of
> historical conflict.
> At some point in time, http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-3119 called for
> Maven to reject more than one call to attach the same artifact to the build.
> However, this proved an unacceptable incompatibility at the time. Instead,
> under http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-4013, Maven was changed to log but
> otherwise ignore all calls to 'addArtifact' on MavenProject after the first
> for a G/A/V/C/T coordinate.
> This decision to take 'first wins' instead of 'last wins' doesn't help much
> of anyone. It prevents something like shade from intentionally displacing an
> earlier execution's results, and while it doesn't produce backtraces, ever,
> it can still be entirely confusing.
> Under this JIRA, I'm switching to 'last one wins'. This could still be
> confusing, and someone might argue that there should be some way to
> distinguish casual and incorrect user config that results in two plugins
> trying to deliver the same thing from something intentional. On the other
> hand, if two plugins are configured to attach the same G/A/V/C, having the
> last one win makes more sense, and has the effect of enabling the desired
> behavior in shade.
