Steve Cohen commented on MASSEMBLY-670:
---------------------------------------
Thank you.
I had an idea as to what the plugin might not have liked. My assembly
descriptor was defining both input and output directories of fileSets using
properties that were defined in pom.xml. My theory was that this could have
been a phase timing issue. Since eventually that correct directories were
being made, maybe the problem was that while the filesets were being read, the
properties had not been interpolated. That was what the "[DEBUG] After
assembly is interpolated:" logging message showed.
That was my theory. Alas, it did not pan out. I replaced all these property
references with hardcoded directory names. It didn't help. The same error
message was produced and the timestamps were still not what I was expecting.

> Project: Maven Assembly Plugin
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: component descriptor
> Affects Versions: 2.4
> Environment: linux
> Reporter: Steve Cohen
>
> The .tar.gz archives created by the assembly plugin do not preserve the
> timestamps of the files it adds to the archive. There is no setting to
> override this.
> This differs from the functionality of the tar program. That program
> preserves timestamps by default, when adding to the archive and there is no
> option to change this, although there are options to change the timestamps on
> extraction.
> The maven plugin should emulate tar here, I would think.
