Re: [M2] Unzip dependencies

[Napoleon Esmundo Ramirez]

Hello Christian,

if you want to specify which dependency you're going to extract, you may
want to use the dependency:unpack mojo instead of
dependency:unpack-dependencies.  You don't want all of your dependencies
extracted in your outputDirectory, would you? ;)

If so, you should configure the maven-dependency-plugin like so:

<plugin>
 <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
 <artifactId>maven-dependency-plugin</artifactId>
 <executions>
   <execution>
     <id>unpack</id>
     <phase>process-sources</phase>
     <goals>
       <goal>unpack</goal>
     </goals>
     <configuration>
       <artifactItems>
         <artifactItem>
           <groupId>testlib</groupId>
           <artifactId>testlib</artifactId>
           <version>1.0</version>
           <type>zip</type>
         </artifactItem>
       </artifactItems>
       <outputDirectory>${project.build.directory
}/alternateLocation</outputDirectory>
       <overWriteReleases>false</overWriteReleases>
       <overWriteSnapshots>true</overWriteSnapshots>
     </configuration>
   </execution>
 </executions>
</plugin>

I hope this helps somehow. :)

Cheers!

Hi everybody,



I have a project dependency (a zipped library-file) in my local
repository.
I want to unzip this file before starting compiling. I tried it with the
maven-dependency-plugin but it didn't work. Any ideas why? Or what I could
do? No error message, it says expanding <file> into <dir> but there is
nothing. Thanks for your help.
