["Frederick N. Brier (JIRA)" <ji...@codehaus.org>]

Frederick N. Brier commented on MDEP-239:
-----------------------------------------

The maven-dependency-plugin is at version 2.8.  What version is this fix applied?  Was it just closed and not fixed?  Even though there were only a couple of votes for this issue, it seems to be a needed feature.  Someone over at jetspeed-2 created a plugin to do just this, although its usage documentation is clearly written.  There is at least 1-2 other plugins written by individuals.  Many people on the web suggest doing this with an Ant task.  It does not seem particularly difficult as zip/jar functionality is built into the standard Java libraries.

> 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.
