Issue
I'm using maven-assembly-plugin to include files from a dependency ZIP (also generated with assembly plugin) into a final release ZIP file.
The issue is that I want to select which files from the dependency to get, but not copying the folder path where those files are. Just the files.
For example:
<assembly>
<formats>
<format>zip</format>
<format>dir</format>
</formats>
<includeBaseDirectory>false</includeBaseDirectory>
<dependencySets>
<dependencySet>
<includes>
<include>package:artifactId:zip:*</include>
</includes>
<outputDirectory>sql/update/01.00.00_to_01.01.00</outputDirectory>
<unpack>true</unpack>
<unpackOptions>
<includes>
<include>oracle/update/1_alter_schema.sql</include>
<include>oracle/update/2_insert_data.sql</include>
</includes>
</unpackOptions>
<useProjectArtifact>false</useProjectArtifact>
<useTransitiveDependencies>false</useTransitiveDependencies>
</dependencySet>
</dependencySet>
</assembly>
This copies the required files like this:
- sql/update/01.00.00_to_01.01.00/oracle/update/1_alter_schema.sql
- sql/update/01.00.00_to_01.01.00/oracle/update/2_insert_data.sql
I would like to copy just the files without the original oracle/update/ folder, resulting in this folder structure:
- sql/update/01.00.00_to_01.01.00/1_alter_schema.sql
- sql/update/01.00.00_to_01.01.00/2_insert_data.sql
The dependency ZIP contains many files used by different projects, therefore the structure to differentiate oracle from sql-server files makes sense there, but for this distribution I don't need those folders, just the files.
Does somebody knows if this is possible with maven-assembly-plugin?
Many thanks in advance!
Solution
It should work by splitting the dependency unzipping and the file assembly.
Configure the dependency-plugin to unpack the desired dependency before performing the assembly work:
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-dependency-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<includeArtifactIds>project-sql</includeArtifactIds>
<outputDirectory>${project.build.directory}/extract</outputDirectory>
<includes>oracle/update/1_alter_schema.sql,oracle/update/2_insert_data.sql</includes>
</configuration>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>unpack-sql</id>
<phase>prepare-package</phase>
<goals><goal>unpack-dependencies</goal></goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
Then, in your assembly-distribution.xml, just assemble from the sub-directory:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<assembly
xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-assembly-plugin/assembly/1.1.2"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-assembly-plugin/assembly/1.1.2 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/assembly-1.1.2.xsd">
<id>distribution-${project.version}</id>
<formats>
<format>zip</format>
<format>dir</format>
</formats>
<includeBaseDirectory>false</includeBaseDirectory>
<fileSets>
<fileSet>
<directory>${project.build.directory}/extract/oracle/update</directory>
<outputDirectory>sql/update/01.00.00_to_01.01.00</outputDirectory>
</fileSet>
</fileSets>
</assembly>
