[jira] Commented: (MASSEMBLY-66) Ability to index into a nominated dependency JAR to identify files to include in the assembly (Im thinking .so/.dll etc)

ruel loehr commented on MASSEMBLY-66:
-------------------------------------

Essentially, you need to have zipfileset support.   This could be very useful .   On the maven site, this wouldn't be so tough too add, but plexus utils would need to be modified to have a zipfilescanner.

> Im trying to bundle a SWT application, I'm almost there, the only thing missing is the ability to include .so files in the assembly that are currently stored inside a dependancy.  As far as I can tell there is no neat way to pull a few files out of a given dependency...
> My example is the SWT libraries, the GTK linux specific JAR in the eclipse bundle also contain the native libraries.  Ive renamed this to fit into a maven2 repository, but really dont want to have to copy the files manually.
> Ideally, I would like to be able to specify the dependency in mind and extend the fileSet element to allow the context of the include to work only within that dependency.
> If there is something Im missing and this can be done with existing plugins Id like to hear about it!
> eg:
> ::POM::
>     <!--ECLIPSE SWT GTK-->   
>     <dependency>
>       <groupId>org.eclipse.swt</groupId>
>       <artifactId>gtk-linux-x86</artifactId>
>       <version>3.1.1</version>
>       <scope>runtime</scope>
>     </dependency>
> ::assembly-descriptor.xml::
>     <!-- /native -->
> 	<fileSet>
> 	<dependency>org.eclipse.swt:gtk-linux-x86:3.1.1</dependency>
> 	<outputDirectory>/lib</outputDirectory>
> 	<includes>
> 		<include>*.so</include>
> 	</includes>
>     </fileSet>
