Good, but there were some regressions in 2.0.3.  If you have any
problems with it, here's the 2.0.4 release candidate:

AFAICT, the assembly plugin is just a way to gather files together in
some arrangement.  Maven is primarily concerned with its repository
artifacts, but this should provide a way to create the source and
binary distributions that we're used to.

Unfortunately, I ran into problems trying to get it to create the
normal 'source distribution', the best I could come up with was
including the -sources jars this time around.

The next version of the assembly plugin allows you to specify
<module>s and it will bring in all of the source files.   Maven's own
source distribution was done with a snapshot of the assembly plugin:

Here's a link to the Struts Action assembly descriptors.  Right now
only 'all.xml' is in use, which you can see in assembly/pom.xml.
