The assembly descriptor (i.e. the file that defines the directory structure and contents of the assembly) is a separate file from the POM. They are typically placed in src/main/assembly/. See http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-assembly-plugin/usage.html for examples of how to configure the assembly plugin in your POM to point to the assembly descriptor file name. Justin

The shell scripts will be in a "bin" directory, the configuration files will be in a "conf" directory, and I'd like the jar in the "lib" directory with any of the dependency jars mentioned in the POM. I've read about Assemblies in Maven -- The Definitive Guide, but I am a little confused about them. It looks like the Assembly is separate from the POM. Is this true? If it is separate from the POM, where is it suppose to live, and how does the POM refer to it? I figure this is a pretty standard setup for a standalone JAR application, but I haven't seen any examples of this particular setup. -- David Weintraub qazw...@gmail.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@maven.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@maven.apache.org
