[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=157594#action_157594 ]
John Casey commented on MASSEMBLY-285:
--------------------------------------
default behavior is set to skip. Because of the way archive resources are processed, implementing overwrite is going to be a lot more involved. From the perspective of the assembly plugin, overwrite vs. skip doesn't make much difference, since users cannot control which type of assembly section is processed first, and any of them could overwrite entries from any other. Having duplicate files that are different will lead to non-deterministic results as long as you're not talking about any two specific sections, or entries within a single section, so there is no difference in the general case between skip and overwrite.
In terms of two fileSets, however, it makes sense to allow overwrites. Since this is pretty complex to implement in plexus-archiver, I'll create a new issue for it and assign it to 2.2 (final).

> Affects Versions: 2.2-beta-1
> Reporter: Brett Porter
> Assignee: John Casey
> Priority: Blocker
> Fix For: 2.2-beta-3

> 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).
