I'm eager to see this get out... this version works fine for me after I hacked the assembly descriptor parents so I could build it (no idea why I couldn't get to the parent snapshots)

I'm not convinced all the worrying about regular expressions for includes/excludes is worth it. The only way to be really sure you're getting what was in svn is to do the assembly immediately after svn export. Otherwise you're apt to pick up or omit ide files (*.ipr etc from eclipse) that some projects put in svn and others don't --no matter how careful you think you're being a lot of the time you'll get it wrong.

BTW, how/when will the almost as important assembly descriptor get released?

thanks

Hi,

I've corrected the regression from the first VOTE thread for this plugin, and I'm ready to try this again...the URLs below have been updated where appropriate.

As I'm sure you've noticed, we've had a large thread on this list
regarding how to put together a proper ASF release using Maven. In order
to enable the Assembly plugin to take on the burden of producing ASF
source-release assemblies, we had to fix a few bugs. Along with this,
I've also tackled the tar/zip file modes problem. The staged repository
for this release can be found at:

https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/maven-staging-033

The JIRA notes for the release can be found at the following URL, or at
appended to the end of this message:

http://jira.codehaus.org/secure/ReleaseNote.jspa?projectId=11126&styleName=Html&version=15298

Please vote!

[ ] +1 Pull the trigger!
[ ] +0 ...like I care
[ ] -1 Stop right there and back away from the plugin slowly!

Here's my +1.

Thanks!
