I have a Maven project, where under src/main directory there is a sub dir called output. this folder needs to be packaged into tar.gz. when using the assembly plugin as follows:
From the pom.xml:
<build>
<finalName>front</finalName>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-assembly-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.2-beta-5</version>
<configuration>
<descriptors>
<descriptor>src/main/assembly/assembly.xml</descriptor>
</descriptors>
</configuration>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
the assembly.xml:
<assembly>
<id>bundle</id>
<formats>
<format>tar.gz</format>
</formats>
<fileSets>
<fileSet>
<directory>src/main/output</directory>
</fileSet>
</fileSets>
</assembly>
My problem is that I am trying the outcome will be as running the tar utility itself, meaning when extracting to get output directory and all its content. what I get is the output folder wrapped with all the project path - name/src/main/output.
You need to configure the assembly descriptor to not include the base directory and to configure an output directory for the fileSet
:
<assembly>
<id>bundle</id>
<formats>
<format>tar.gz</format>
</formats>
<includeBaseDirectory>false</includeBaseDirectory>
<fileSets>
<fileSet>
<directory>src/main/output</directory>
<outputDirectory>output</outputDirectory>
</fileSet>
</fileSets>
</assembly>
With the above assembly descriptor, I get the following result (when running on a project reproducing the structure):
$ mvn clean assembly:assembly ... $ cd target $ tar zxvf Q3330855-1.0-SNAPSHOT-bundle.tar.gz output/ output/hello.txt
