Nicholas Williams created MASSEMBLY-649:
-------------------------------------------
Summary: Assembly descriptor needs <sourceBinaries> (or similar)
to go with <binaries> and <sources>
Key: MASSEMBLY-649
URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MASSEMBLY-649
Project: Maven 2.x Assembly Plugin
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Nicholas Williams
Consider the following project structure:
{noformat}
- parent
- pom.xml
- assembly
- pom.xml
- module1
- pom.xml
- module2
- pom.xml
- module3
- pom.xml
{noformat}
As recommended
[here|http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-assembly-plugin/faq.html#module-binaries],
the "assembly" sub-project exists to run the assembly plugin during package
phase and depends on module1, module2, and module3 to achieve this.
Using {{<moduleSet>/<binaries>}} I can include all of the compiled binaries
from module1, module2, and module3 in the assembly. Using
{{<moduleSet>/<sources>}} I can likewise include all of the sources, but the
problem is that {{<sources>}} actually includes the entire source directories
including POM and project files for each module, which is not always desired.
Modules 1-3 in this case use the maven-source-plugin to create source binaries
([artifactId]-[version]-sources.jar). I want to include those source JARs in
the assembly. However, I cannot do this with {{<moduleSet>}} or with
{{<dependencySet>}}. I have to add a {{<fileSet>}} for each module's lone
source JAR, like so:
{code:xml}
<fileSet>
<directory>../module1/target</directory>
<includes><include>*-sources.jar</include></includes>
<outputDirectory>/sources</outputDirectory>
</fileSet>
<fileSet>
<directory>../module2/target</directory>
<includes><include>*-sources.jar</include></includes>
<outputDirectory>/sources</outputDirectory>
</fileSet>
<fileSet>
<directory>../module3/target</directory>
<includes><include>*-sources.jar</include></includes>
<outputDirectory>/sources</outputDirectory>
</fileSet>
{code}
This gets tedious with many modules (and really shouldn't be necessary). We
either need a {{<sourceBinaries>}} option that works similarly to
{{<binaries>}} except on source JARs, or {{<binaries>}} needs to be changed to
optionally support source JARs.
