Description

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.

I can see that the problem is that my tar.gz dependencies contains baseDirectory different from blank
So the problem is to be able to ignore / preset baseDirectory under the unpack operation

I have a similar request to flatten the directory. Basically, I have a file in the META-INF directory that I want to relocate to the root folder of a webapp. Putting my request in terms of assembly plugin fileset terms:

  <!-- the directory inside the jar -->
  <directory>META-INF</directory>
  <!-- the web application target directory -->
  <outputDirectory>${project.build.outputDirectory}/${project.build.finalName}</outputDirectory>
  <!-- the html files to be hosted in the webapp root -->
  <includes>*.html</includes>
