Description Quy Nguyen 2005-11-11 00:34:41 UTC 
When building a zip distribution for an application, it does not seem possible
to have a separate application name and cluster name, because of the following
line in harness/suite.xml that hardcodes the cluster directory name to the
app.name property:

<zipfileset dir="${cluster}" prefix="${app.name}/${app.name}">

Such a feature is useful for products that do not brand version numbers into
their application name but want to have such branding in the cluster.
Comment 1 Jesse Glick 2005-11-11 00:55:26 UTC 
Could add such an overridable property in the future. Anyway, the build targets
for things like "app ZIP" are not intended to handle every possible requirement.
They are just supposed to be good enough for demo purposes and to serve as a
starting point for overrides by mature / complex applications.
Comment 2 Jaroslav Tulach 2013-01-10 09:59:27 UTC 
Send me patch for review, if you really want to get such unusually requirement in.
