[jira] Commented: (MASSEMBLY-285) regression: duplicate files added to the assembly

    [ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MASSEMBLY-285?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=150010#action_150010 ] 

Antony Stubbs commented on MASSEMBLY-285:
-----------------------------------------

Shouldn't the default behaviour be the 'correct' behaviour? What percentage of people actually want duplicate files in their artefacts?

Why should we try to preserve incorrect behaviour? This sort of thing cripples products - just look at the www.

Please point it out if there's something I'm missing.

> I found that it was possible to add a file twice to the assembly through different filesets (a zip file) so that when it extracted it prompted for overwrite.
> It should error out or collapse the entries (as 2.1 did).
