Description

The current goal is able to unpack specific sub-directory of a zip type artifact by using the "includes" parameter. However, the tree structure of the sub-directory is maintained as well.

For example:

myartifact-version.zip

 

myartifact-version
 '-folder1
    '-...
 '-folder2
    '-...

pom.xml

 

 

...
<plugin>
    <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
    <artifactId>maven-dependency-plugin</artifactId>
    <executions>
        <execution>
            <id>unpack-igate-distribution</id>
            <phase>generate-resources</phase>
            <goals>
                <goal>unpack</goal>
            </goals>
            <configuration>
                <artifactItems>
                    <artifactItem>
                        <groupId>com.example</groupId>
                        <artifactId>myartifact</artifactId>
                        <version>${myartifact.version}</version>
                        <type>zip</type>
                        <overWrite>true</overWrite>              <outputDirectory>${project.build.directory}/myartifact</outputDirectory>
                        <includes>myartifact-*/**</includes>
                    </artifactItem>
                </artifactItems>
            </configuration>
        </execution>
    </executions>
</plugin>
...

 

 

Result

 

myproject
 '-target
    '-myartifact
       '-myartifact-version
          '-folder1
             '-...
          '-folder2
             '-...

 

 

However, I want to be able to change the pom.xml, to achieve the following result:

myproject
 '-target
   '-myartifact
      '-folder1
         '-...
      '-folder2
         '-...
