Reguel Wermelinger created MDEP-458: ---------------------------------------
Summary: overwriteIfNewer forces not needed overwrite of already existing artifacts Key: MDEP-458 URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MDEP-458 Project: Maven Dependency Plugin Issue Type: Bug Components: copy-dependencies Affects Versions: 2.8, 2.9 Environment: Win7 x64, MVN 3.0.5, Java 7.0.51 Reporter: Reguel Wermelinger Priority: Minor Attachments: overwriteIfNewer-sample.zip The _<overwriteIfNever/>_ property does not work for classifier _<classifier>sources</classifier>_ . As soon as the overWriteIfNever property is enabled, the artifacts with classifier "sources" are always overwritten. So not needed files are written very often to the disk. The flag seems to work as expected for executions where no classifier is specified. See the attached sample project where execution "thirdparty" can handle overwriteIfNever correctly. While the execution "thirdparty.sources" always copies files to the disk: {{[INFO] --- maven-dependency-plugin:2.9-SNAPSHOT:copy-dependencies (thirdparty) @ ch.ivyteam.testarea.overwrite --- [INFO] junit:junit:jar:3.8.1 already exists in destination.
