Hello Sean,

I got the assembly stuff working but there are a few issues.
1.) The tarballs include transitive dependencies (like commons-lang).
We don't want to ship those with our nightly or official releases
Why not, I build with the transitive dependencies would be easy to use
for the user. I think we should ship with the dependencies.
2.) Maven assembly doesn't really allow you to easily create both
source and bin tarballs.
What should contain the source tarball?
3.) Maven assembly is cumbersome.
4.) Bruno has reminded me that the @lastmodified@ issue will not be
handled using this process
So I propose we consider writing our own maven plugin to build our
tarballs. I know very little about maven and even less about writing
a plugin (zero) but I'm willing to get up to speed if someone more
knowledgeable can help.
Is this a crazy idea or something worth doing? Maybe Wendy will be
interested in helping since she handles this type of thing for Struts
(which will eventually need something like this.)
