I am having a problem with some functionality I need configured.
Here is a part of my POM, where I configured a project to be assembled into two different files: FirstNameProject-VERSION-bin.zip and SecondNameProject-VERSION-bin.zip.
The idea is that I had to maintain those names set, even if the original artefact is common.

                            <descriptor>src/main/assembly/resources_second.xml</descriptor>
                        </descriptors>
                    </configuration>
                    <phase>package</phase>
                    <goals>
                        <goal>single</goal>

            </executions>
        </plugin>
    </plugins>
</build>

This is working properly and in the mvn package logs I can see:

[INFO] --- maven-assembly-plugin:2.2.1:single (first) @ MyGenericProject ---
[INFO] Reading assembly descriptor: src/main/assembly/resources_first.xml
[INFO] Building zip: C:\MyPath\MyProject_trunk\target\FirstNameProject-2                                                                   .0.2-bin.zip
[INFO]
[INFO] --- maven-assembly-plugin:2.2.1:single (second) @ MyGenericProject ---
[INFO] Reading assembly descriptor: src/main/assembly/resources_second.xml

The problem is that, at during install, it just reverts to the generic name and install the the rightly named file as the Generic one!

[INFO] — maven-install-plugin:2.3.1:install (default-install) @ MyGenericProject —
[INFO] Installing C:\MyPath\MyProject_trunk\target\MyGenericProject-2.0.2-SNAPSHOT.jar to C:.m2\repository\com\project\my\MyGenericProject\2.0.2-SNAPSHOT\MyGenericProject-2.0.2-SNAPSHOT.jar
[INFO] Installing C:\MyPath\MyProject_trunk\pom.xml to C:.m2\repository\com\project\my\MyGenericProject\2.0.2-SNAPSHOT\MyGenericProject-2.0.2-SNAPSHOT.pom

I am imagining that this is because the install plugin has no visibility on exactly how the assembly plugin was configured so I ask you: how can I configure the install plugin so that I will end up with FirstNameProject-VERSION-bin.zip and SecondNameProject-VERSION-bin.zip installed in my repository??

I hope I was clear enough,
Thanks

    It sounds like Maven is “attaching” the assembly artifact to the project under the default name. The first option is to scour the assembly plugin configuration to see if there’s a way to control this. Looking through it myself, I don’t see a way to do this. I would have thought it would have used your final name configuration, but if it doesn’t, it doesn’t.

    The workaround I can offer, and I would hope someone can offer something more standard, is to configure the assembly to NOT attach itself.

    Next, take the file it creates, the one with the name you want, and use the build-helper plugin to attach the file under the precise coordinates that you want.
