Kristian Rosenvold commented on MASSEMBLY-728: ---------------------------------------------- I dont really know any disatvantages of posix tar,but I suppose some old platforms may not support it. I'm sure google will tell us :) > Assembly plugin >= 2.5 thinks my group ID is too big > ---------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MASSEMBLY-728 > URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MASSEMBLY-728 > Project: Maven Assembly Plugin > Issue Type: Bug > Affects Versions: 2.5 > Reporter: Andrew Todd > > My OS X user's primary group ID is quite large, around 110075129. > Up until assembly 2.4.1, I have had no troubles. However, in 2.5, I get this > error when trying to create an assembly: > [ERROR] Failed to execute goal > org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-assembly-plugin:2.5:single > (assemble-command-line) on project crypto-monster: Execution > assemble-command-line of goal > org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-assembly-plugin:2.5:single failed: group id > '110075129' is too big ( > 2097151 ) -> [Help 1] > I am using JDK 7 to build. Have not tested with 8. > I have noticed that the error seems to be specific to assembly of a .tar.gz > artifact. Assembling a .zip file does not cause this error. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.1.6#6162)
