I've added code in 2.2-beta-2-snap to address this problem...at
least, it should address it. I added resolution to the plugin before
2.2-beta-1 because there were issues when people wanted to create an
assembly that didn't require dependencies to be resolved, and the
dependencies couldn't be resolved for one reason or another. This
way, dependency resolution is held off until one or more assembly-
descriptor subsections requires it.
IMO, this is a perfectly valid use case for artifact resolution, and
moreover, the reason we separated the artifact api from maven-core in
the first place. If we decide we want to enable plugins to call back
into the core conditionally to trigger artifact resolution, then
fine...but this isn't possible in 2.0.x.

Right now I cannot get the assembly plugin to use the hard version
I am specifying. So I took a look at the assembly plugin and
noticed that it has it's own dependency resolver? And the question
is why? There are problems enough with the dependency resolution
but why are we adding insult to injury by adding yet another
resolver which has to stay in sync with the main code?
I cannot easily tell whether it's a problem with resolution in
general, or a result of the copy.
In my case I need the latest release of classworlds for anything to
work with trunk and it won't give me what I ask for rendering the
assembly plugin useless as I can't even plugin a chunk of ant in
there to replace the JAR before it tries to archive it.
Thanks,
Jason
