[jira] Created: (MASSEMBLY-239) In format dir, be able to create a
dir without the suffix .dir
In format dir, be able to create a dir without the suffix .dir
--------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MASSEMBLY-239
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MASSEMBLY-239
Project: Maven 2.x Assembly Plugin
Issue Type: Improvement
Affects Versions: 2.2-beta-1
Reporter: Henri Tremblay
For a assembly in format directory, it would be nice to be able to get rid of the format suffix (".dir").
In a general way, I think being able to change the file extension would be nice. This will allow to remote the .dir (make sure le dot is also removable)

------------------------------------------
I can't change it but maybe priority major is a little bit high.
I know that in the case of multiple formats, it won't work. So maybe the solution is to enrich the assembly descriptor to have:
<format>
<name></name>
<suffix></suffix>
</format>
Where suffix is by default the name.

Benjamin Bentmann commented on MASSEMBLY-239:
---------------------------------------------
The plugin's trunk already supports the suppression of the "dir" suffix via a new mojo parameter:
{code:java}
/**
* If this flag is set, the ".dir" suffix will be suppressed in the output
* directory name when using assembly/format == 'dir' and other formats
* that begin with 'dir'.
*
* @parameter default-value="false"
*/
private boolean ignoreDirFormatExtensions;
{code}
What I dislike about this is the default value being "false". Sure, that would keep backward compatibility with the existing plugin versions. However, I personally would have called the current behavior a bug. Where on earth do people want to append ".dir" to a directory? Are there really any use-cases for this? If not, I do not see the point in keeping a bug enabled by default. Instead, the philosophy "convention over configuration" should take precedence such that users get the intended behavior out-of-the-box.
