componentName attribute of artifactFilePublisher task

<<The>>

What is the real purpose of this attribute? Is it just a way to group
more than a single file under a folder structure in Build Result? Ot his
component name is related with SCM Component concept in any way?

BTW, I think it is new from RTC 2.0.0.2 right? I didn't notice this
attribute in the past.

Thanks in advance,

Chemi.

Exactly. In the build toolkit Ant tasks, "component" refers to a group
of things in the build result. The "components" don't need to
correspond to SCM components or to anything else. You can create a new
component group simply by specifying a new string in the componentName
attribute.

It may be too late to get this changed, but I've submitted work item
106099 reporting the terminology clash between the componentName
attribute and an RTC component.

Cheers,
Geoff
