Thinking more about this, why do we even have the "defaultAssemblyId"

Because, if you configure the assemblyId from the pom, then you can
not override it on the command-line.
Having two params doing almost the same thing seems not only redudant
but also confusing. Am I missing something else here ?
They are not the same :-P
The real value used is assemblyId, but as mentioned above, if you
configure this in the pom, then you can not use `mvn -
DassemblyId=tomcat` to change the assembly on the command-line.
Properties set on the command-line do not take precedence over pom
configuration (as one might have expected if you use Ant, which will
prefer -D properties to defined properties in build.xml).
Anyways, defaultAssemblyId is to be put into pom's... assemblyId is
to be used on the command-line.
