---------------------------------

             Summary: Add a <stripType> option to unpack goals
                 Key: MDEP-782
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MDEP-782
             Project: Maven Dependency Plugin
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: unpack-dependencies
    Affects Versions: 3.2.0
         Environment: Apache Maven 3.6.3 (cecedd343002696d0abb50b32b541b8a6ba2883f)
            Reporter: Andreas Sewe


When using {{unpack-dependencies}} with 

{noformat}
<useSubDirectoryPerArtifact>true</useSubDirectoryPerArtifact>
<stripVersion>true</stripVersion>
{noformat}

dependencies will get unpacked in directories like {{${outputDirectory}/some-artifactId-*jar*/}}. In other words, the artifact's type is always appended; AFAICT from the [code|https://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-dependency-plugin/xref/org/apache/maven/plugins/dependency/utils/DependencyUtil.html#L189], there is no way to unpack into a directory whose name is just the dependency's {{artifactId}}.

It would hence be nice to have a {{<stripType>}} configuration option to mirror [{{<stripVersion}}|https://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-dependency-plugin/unpack-dependencies-mojo.html#stripVersion]) and [{{<stripClassifier}}|https://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-dependency-plugin/unpack-dependencies-mojo.html#stripClassifier]) (although the later option is also ignored on {{unpack-dependencies}}. A separate bug?).
