For weeks, I've been wrestling with maven, getting it to deploy our project "properly."
I'm almost done but I have one stubborn little problem:
When I use the maven assembly plugin with the "directory" goal as in
mvn assembly:directory
I get LOTS of console output like the following: [INFO] tomcat/conf already added, skipping
[INFO] tomcat/conf/Catalina already added, skipping
[INFO] tomcat/conf/Catalina/localhost already added, skipping
[INFO] tomcat/webapps already added, skipping
I've written my own assembly descriptor that basically copies several FileSets into various sub-directories within our deploy directory. Messages like the ones above appear whenever a file from one FileSet is being copied to a location in which another FileSet has already created the basic directory structure (and some "default" files that can be overwritten).
So, I'm having a hard time figuring out:
How do I either 1) Suppress these messages (but only the "already added" messages) or 2) allow for overwrite?

The Assembly Plugin for Maven enables developers to combine project output into a single distributable archive that also contains dependencies, modules, site documentation, and other files. Your project can easily build distribution "assemblies" using one of the prefabricated assembly descriptors.
So in order for you to customize the way the Assembly Plugin creates your assemblies, you need to know how to use the Assembly Descriptor. This descriptor specifies the type of assembly archive to create, the contents of the assembly, and the ways in which dependencies or its modules are bundled with an assembly.
This goal is suitable either for binding to the lifecycle or calling directly from the command line (provided all required files are available before the build starts, or are produced by another goal specified before this one on the command line).
The info messages are coming from the Plexus Archiver. There is an open bug report on this issue:
http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/PLXCOMP-129

The Plexus bug mentioned by vocaro has been fixed. Using the maven-assembly-plugin with version 2.4 (highest at time of writing) does not print the verbose messages.
