I would call it advancing insight. I can't think of an assembly which is
only for unittesting (due to the src/test folder) and won't be attached
the the MavenProject for deployment.
For users it would make it clear:
everything under /src/main are files required during compile time
everything under /src/test are files required during test time
everything under /src/it are files required during integration tests
assembly descriptors doesn't cover one of these, so it should have its own
folder.
While Maven-core uses src/main/assembly for years doesn't mean that we
could adjust our advice.

Hi Robert,
I was not thinking about scope here, just the directory structure of
the project.
We've used src/main/assembly for years now. Maven-core has its
assembly descriptors in src/main/assembly. It seems strange to
suddenly change it. In what way would our users benefit from this
change?

Hi Dennis,
an assembly will always result in an attachment, but there's no such
thing
as attaching with a scope.
For that reason I wouldn't separate the assembly descriptors, it might
cause
invalid assumptions.

Hi
I agree with Karl Heinz that the Assembly Plugin should support the
documented default directory.
It seems that we disagree about what the preferred directory should
be. I think it should be src/main/assembly/ because almost all
assemblies I have ever seen are for the main part of a project. If
someone wanted to create an assembly for the test part of a project I
would recommend to place the assembly descriptor in src/test/assembly.

Hi,
This is the standard (preferred) directory layout, so it doesn't have
to
be
the default.
I actually think that src/main/assembly/ should be src/assembly/,
otherwise
it would imply that there can also be a src/test/assembly/. I wouldn't
separate the descriptors into different folders.

Hi,
I stumbled over a small thing.
The page about the default folder layout
https://maven.apache.org/guides/introduction/introduction-to-the-standard-directory-layout.html
mentioned a location for the maven-assembly-plugin descriptors:
src/main/assembly/
So the location is a suggestion to locate assembly descriptors but
the
maven-assembly-plugin itself does not have such a default value for
that
?
In my opinion the maven-assembly-plugin should have a default
location
as
mentioned above (descriptors default value to search for
src/main/assembly/
descriptors) or we should change the above description..
What do you thing ? Ideas ?
Kind regards
Karl-Heinz Marbaise
