I have configured following assembly:

<build>
    <plugins>
 <plugin>
        <artifactId>maven-assembly-plugin</artifactId>
 <version>2.2-beta-5</version>
 <executions>
   <execution>
         <id>${project.name}-test-assembly</id>
  <phase>package</phase>
  <goals>
     <goal>single</goal>
  </goals>
  <configuration>
  <appendAssemblyId>false</appendAssemblyId>
  <finalName>${project.name}-test</finalName>
  <filters>
      <filter>src/assemble/test/distribution.properties</filter>
  </filters>
  <descriptors>
  <descriptor>src/assemble/distribution.xml</descriptor>
  </descriptors>
  <attach>true</attach>
 </configuration>
 </execution>
 <execution>
  <id>${project.name}-prod-assembly</id>
  <phase>package</phase>
  <goals>
      <goal>single</goal>
  </goals>
  <configuration>
<appendAssemblyId>false</appendAssemblyId>
<finalName>${project.name}-prod</finalName>
<filters>
          <filter>src/assemble/prod/distribution.properties</filter>
</filters>
      <descriptors>
   <descriptor>src/assemble/distribution.xml</descriptor>
</descriptors>
<attach>true</attach>
  </configuration>
</execution>
 </executions>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>

This produced two zip-files:

• distribution-prod.zip
• distribution-test.zip

My expectation for the property attach=true is, that the two zip-files are installed with the name as given in property finalName. But the result is, only one file is installed (attached) to the artifact. The maven protocol is:

• distrib-0.1-SNAPSHOT.zip
• distrib-0.1-SNAPSHOT.zip

The plugin is using the artifact-id instead of property finalName! Is this a bug?

The last installation is overwriting the first one. What can i do to install this two files with different names?

Thanks for your investigation. Roland
