Aaron Roller commented on MDEP-239:
-----------------------------------

I have a similar request to flatten the directory. Basically, I have a file in the META-INF directory that I want to relocate to the root folder of a webapp.  Putting my request in terms of assembly plugin fileset terms:

{noformat}
  <!-- the directory inside the jar -->
  <directory>META-INF</directory>
  <!-- the web application target directory -->
  <outputDirectory>${project.build.outputDirectory}/${project.build.finalName}</outputDirectory>
  <!-- the html files to be hosted in the webapp root -->
  <includes>*.html</includes>
{noformat}

> I would like an option to having the unpacked artifacts unpacked into the same directory root.
> This is usefull for my usecase, where I want to merge artifacts content. and use it further on in a merged context.
> Suggest flag: merge true/false
> Today a subdirectory with the artifact name is created under the <outputDirectory/>
> I know that duplicate file will be possible. Here just the first/last wins.
