It looks like the Maven 2 peeps are not going to be able to take in
our patches to apply to the assembly plugin, which provides mappers
and some includes/excludes to unpack and a permission related fix to
files/file element processing.
I believe that those changes will eventually make it in, but for now
to get around the need Prasad and I talked about using the dependency
plugin and the antrun plugin to perform the needed "flattening" of
the schema files for the /schema/* in the assembly.
I've implemented this already for the geronimo-jetty-j2ee assembly in
the svkmerge/m2migration branch.
It appears to function as expected. I've disabled the remaining
assemblies which have not yet been converted. Once they have been
converted they will be re-enabled.
Note, we are still using car:installConfigs... but we no longer need
to have MASSEMBLY-45 or MASSEMBLY-127 applied to a custom 2.2-
SNAPSHOT version of the maven-assembly-plugin to build out assemblies.
The full conversation is here if anyone is interested:

antrun to setup the right bits and then use the 2.1 assembly plugin?'
