Hi Curtis, Why not stick with the old version of maven-assembly-plugin until you have > to refactor your build more thoroughly? >
I thought to that, but it collides another (philosophical) concept: to use always the last version of plugins ! ^^ More seriously and to explain, the "problem" is that the configuration is inside a company parent pom, and the CI has some template builds containing this assembly call. This refactor is simple for a project, but more difficult to instruct on many many projects. So not upgrading the plugin version is just delay the problem ... In short, this is the classic life of components migration for a company, and when you don't really consider a depreciation tag :-) But if it is not technically possible (aggregation by pom configuration), I will take the problem by the horns. Many thanks for the informations and suggestions.
