Hello,

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?
