-----------------------------------------
I second that. Had to keep my home-built snapshot for that :/
> [assembly plugin] improve or clarify inheriting/reusing descriptors

> Key: MASSEMBLY-76
> URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MASSEMBLY-76
> Project: Maven 2.x Assembly Plugin
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Jacob Robertson
> Fix For: 2.2
>
>
> I want to declare a new reusable assembly descriptor. Then, in my parent pom
> I can reference that descriptor, and all children projects will be able to do
> assembly:assembly without specifying the descriptor. This actually works
> halfway, but then the assembly plugin can't find the descriptor - because it
> doesn't live inside of the child project. I was trying to play around with
> putting the descriptor in the parent project, but since the packaging has to
> be "pom" that of course wouldn't work.
> Unless I misunderstand, the way this currently works, I'd have to declare the
> descriptor for each and every child project. Which would be very
> unfortunate, since the 3 supplied predefined descriptors don't meet my needs.
> If there is a way to do this, then the improvement request is to improve the
> documentation for this since I couldn't figure it out...
