This is probably not a well-documented feature yet, as it's fairly new and we've been working out the kinks. Container-descriptor handlers aggregate content from things like components.xml, etc. in an intelligent way, rather than allowing one jar's descriptor to overwrite another's. The descriptor handlers are Plexus components, whose role-hint is entered in the section you mention below. The assembly plugin then looks up the specific handlers for use when it encounters references to them in the assembly descriptor.

What is the specific error you're seeing?

This IT is failing in my environment:
  container-descriptors\custom-containerDescriptorHandler

I can't find any documentation to help work out what the following in
the assembly configuration means:
  <containerDescriptorHandlers>
    <containerDescriptorHandler>
      <handlerName>file.txt</handlerName>
    </containerDescriptorHandler>
  </containerDescriptorHandlers>

Anyone else got this problem?
