[jira] [Commented] (MASSEMBLY-845) MASSEMBLY-817 makes some usecases very inconvenient

["Karl Heinz Marbaise (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MASSEMBLY-845?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16052801#comment-16052801 ] 

Karl Heinz Marbaise commented on MASSEMBLY-845:
-----------------------------------------------

It is not prevented to use:
{code:xml}
<build>
  <finalName>ToWhatEverYouLike</finalName>
 ...
</build>
{code}
This only changes the name of the resulting artifact in the target folder nothing more...
To be honest I don't see a real issue here?

> The "improvement" done in MASSEMBLY-817 makes some usecases very inconvenient:
> We need to create an archive with one stable name (independent of e.g. version) so we don't have to propagate these information to a bunch of scripts.
> The general solution (i.e. Stack-overflow) refers exactly to the finalName:
> [http://stackoverflow.com/questions/20697144/can-not-set-the-final-jar-name-with-maven-assembly-plugin]
> *Please change finalName back to a settable property.*
> It being settable does not hurt anyone satisfied with the default naming convention but makes some usecases vastly simpler (otherwise you have to rename the artifact using yet another plugin or propagate version info possibly through a chain of scripts)
