The predefined jar-with-dependencies descriptor has a few issues:
1) It produces a jar
2) It unpacks dependencies (instead of lib/???.jar)
The shared descriptor approach seems to be satisfying the need without
packaging the descriptor in the generated project:
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-assembly-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.2-beta-3</version>
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.tuscany.sca</groupId>
<artifactId>zip-contribution-descriptor</artifactId>
<version>2.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>make-assembly</id>
<phase>package</phase>
<goals>
<goal>single</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<!-- This is where we use our shared assembly descriptor -->
<descriptors>
<descriptor>zip-contribution.xml</descriptor>
</descriptors>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>

Hi,
Here is what I did to get the same zip using the maven-assembly-plugin:
1) Configure the tuscany-zip-plugin in the pom.xml for the archetype
(https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/tuscany/java/sca/archetypes/contribution-zip/src/main/resources/archetype-resources/pom.xml)
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-assembly-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<descriptors>
<descriptor>src/main/assembly/zip.xml</descriptor>
</descriptors>
</configuration>
</plugin>
2) Add the assembly descriptor (src/main/assembly/zip.xml) to the
archetype:
<assembly>
<id>zip-contribution</id>
<formats>
<format>zip</format>
</formats>
<includeBaseDirectory>false</includeBaseDirectory>
<dependencySets>
<dependencySet>
<unpack>false</unpack>
<scope>runtime</scope>
<outputDirectory>lib</outputDirectory>
<useProjectArtifact>false</useProjectArtifact>
</dependencySet>
</dependencySets>
<fileSets>
<fileSet>
<directory>${project.build.outputDirectory}</directory>
<outputDirectory>/</outputDirectory>
</fileSet>
</fileSets>
</assembly>
But Raymond, requiring the user project include extra files that
aren't related to their sca contribution was exactly what i was trying
to avoid. This is in effect doing the same as the zip plugin but
instead of having it hidden away in some Tuscany plugin code now every
user project would need to include it.
The pre-defined descriptors approach you mentioned first seemed good,
if we could get that to work it would solve this. Do you know if there
is any way to include a predefined descriptor that does what we need
in some Tuscany module that a user build script can refer to with a
descriptorRef element?
