Hi,
I added something into the maven-assembly-plugin that I wanted to share.
We want to know if you think it make sense and fit in there to discuss and
eventually prepare a contribution.
The fact is that the maven-dependency-plugin can be already used to
accomplish what I need but in a much more verbose way.
The motivation: To be able to include in an assembly artifact attachments
"derived" from actual project dependencies (without having the attachments
itself as a real dependency).
In my case, it happens that a whole family (same groupid) of artifacts has
all a zip attachment. In one project, we need to merge all those zip
attachments, resolving then automatically using transitive dependencies,
This is how I did that:
<assembly>
...
<dependencySets>
<dependencySet>
<dependenciesAttachmentSets>
<dependenciesAttachmentSet>
<type>zip</type>
<classifier>XYZ</classifier>
</dependenciesAttachmentSet>
</dependenciesAttachmentSets>
</dependencySet>
</dependencySets>
...
</assembly>
With this "extended" :-) assembly descriptor we are including in the
assembly all zip XYZ attachments from all dependencies (transitively).
In "dependenciesAttachmentSet" we support includes/excludes exactly as in
"dependencySet".
