["Ernst Reissner (Jira)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MINSTALL-170?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17629276#comment-17629276 ] 

Ernst Reissner commented on MINSTALL-170:
-----------------------------------------

@KHM: yes! i managed far later and it works... 
Still I would be curious about how the install plugin determines what in fact to install. 
I cannot figure out the mechanism and there is no documentation, well I found no documentation on this subject at all. 
Maybe a good idea just to add documentation. 

@SJ: which feedback you need from me?

> Maybe it is the wrong way to file a feature request but maybe this is the best way to come into contact with the development team. 
> My problem is that I want to deploy both a jar and a tar.gz file. 
> The latter I create with an assembly plugin. 
> Unfortunately, the assembly plugin forces the name `artifact-version-assId.tar.gz` 
> and offers no way to have empty assId. 
> The tar.gz is used in another software which strictly speaking requires `artifact-version.tar.gz`. 
> So I had the simple idea to just move `artifact-version-assId.tar.gz`  to `artifact-version.tar.gz` 
> using exec plugin in a phase before install. 
> Well of course  i want the install plugin to install now `artifact-version.tar.gz`  instead of `artifact-version-assId.tar.gz`. 
> But the install plugin still wants to use the original artifact. 
> My somehow academical question would be how install plugin determines the artifact to be installed and to modify that info appropriately. 
> It seems to have nothing to do with the packaging as the original tar.gz is installed also. 
> If I need to define another kind of packaging.... installing other kinds of artifacts, 
> may I reuse the install plugin???? 
> Help very much appreciated.
