John Didion commented on MASSEMBLY-56:
--------------------------------------

I'll give you our use case: we have several "tool" components, basically 
command-line tools for admin tasks. I've written a plugin to generate batch 
files to execute these admin tools. We've decided the best way to use this is 
to create a directory assembly in the target directory and place the generated 
batch files there. Devs can then either use the exec plugin to run these batch 
files, or just run them directly. So, as you see, an attached version of the 
directory assembly plugin is the only thing that works for us.

Maybe it would make more sense to make "directory" one of the output formats 
for the assembly/attached plugins rather than have seperate directory and 
attached-directory plugins.

> Pretty straight-forward. Just make the directory goal into two goals (like 
> assembly and attached), one that can be run stand-alone and one that can be 
> run attached to a lifecycle phase.
