Renaming a file when creating a zip file through the Maven-assembly plugin

Question

I use the maven-assembly plugin to create a zip , how can I rename some files, and when using zip with the same plugin?

Update:

This is the profile in pom

<profile> <id>D1</id> <activation> <property> <name>D1</name> <value>true</value> </property> </activation> <build> <plugins> <plugin> <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> <artifactId>maven-assembly-plugin</artifactId> <version>2.2.2</version> <executions> <execution> <phase>package</phase> <goals> <goal>single</goal> </goals> <configuration> <descriptors> <descriptor>assembly/online-distribution.D1.xml</descriptor> </descriptors> <appendAssemblyId>false</appendAssemblyId> </configuration> </execution> </executions> </plugin> </plugins> </build> </profile> 

This is Assembly.xml

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> <assembly xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-assembly-plugin/assembly/1.1.2" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-assembly- plugin/assembly/1.1.2 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/assembly-1.1.2.xsd"> <formats> <format>tar.gz</format> </formats> <id>online</id> <includeBaseDirectory>false</includeBaseDirectory> <dependencySet> <outputDirectory>resources</outputDirectory> <unpack>true</unpack> <includes> <include>${project.groupId}:core-config:jar</include> </includes> <unpackOptions> <includes> <include>coresrv/env-config.D1.properties</include> </includes> </unpackOptions> </dependencySet> <files> <file> <source>${project.groupId}/core-config.jar/coresrv/env-config.D1.properties</source> <outputDirectory>/</outputDirectory> <destName>env-config.properties</destName> </file> </files> </assembly> 

I get this jar and unpack it, and then rename the file and zip it again. Thanks

Answer 1

you can use

  <outputFileNameMapping>...</outputFileNameMapping> 

which sets the mapping pattern for all the dependencies included in this assembly, uses

default value:

 ${artifact.artifactId}-${artifact.version}${dashClassifier?}.${artifact.extension}.

I faced the same problem, I need to use unpacking with renaming of some files, and as a solution we can use two executions of maven-assembly-plugin.

During the first execution, we will use the dir format instead of one of the archive formats and prepare the contents of the files, and as a result we will get a folder with all the necessary files.

During the second run, we will use the folder from the previous run as a source in fileSets with files , and we will be able to rename any file using files.file.destName , and as the format for the second run we can use the archive format, for example zip to create the final archive.

Responding to an old post for posterity ... and next time I ask Google and send it here.

Renaming was a pain in Maven, this plugin does what the tin says:

copy-rename-maven-plugin

(available at Maven Center )

Easy to use:

  <plugin> <groupId>com.coderplus.maven.plugins</groupId> <artifactId>copy-rename-maven-plugin</artifactId> <version>1.0.1</version> <executions> <execution> <id>copy-properties-file</id> <phase>prepare-package</phase> <goals> <goal>copy</goal> </goals> <configuration> <sourceFile>source.props</sourceFile> <destinationFile>destination.properties</destinationFile> </configuration> </execution> </executions> </plugin> 

Note: target rename will move files to target /
