Created: (MDEP-239) merge unpack to a single directory

merge unpack to a single directory
----------------------------------

                 Key: MDEP-239
                 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MDEP-239
             Project: Maven 2.x Dependency Plugin
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: unpack-dependencies
    Affects Versions: 2.0-alpha-4
            Reporter: Anders Kr. Andersen
            Assignee: Brian Fox
            Priority: Minor


I would like an option to having the unpacked artifacts unpacked into the same directory root.

This is usefull for my usecase, where I want to merge artifacts content. and use it further on in a merged context.

Suggest flag: merge true/false

Today a subdirectory with the artifact name is created under the <outputDirectory/>

I know that duplicate file will be possible. Here just the first/last wins.

Anders Kr. Andersen commented on MDEP-239:
------------------------------------------

I can see that the problem is that my tar.gz dependencies contains baseDirectory different from blank
So the problem is to be able to ignore / preset baseDirectory under the unpack operation
