Mark Raynsford commented on MASSEMBLY-896:
------------------------------------------
Actually, this has turned out to be a lot more complicated than a simple
property patch. It touches upon this rather unpleasant issue:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MASSEMBLY-94
> Allow specifying descriptors via a property
> -------------------------------------------
>
> Key: MASSEMBLY-896
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MASSEMBLY-896
> Project: Maven Assembly Plugin
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: component descriptor
> Affects Versions: 3.1.0
> Reporter: Mark Raynsford
> Priority: Minor
>
> It's currently not possible to specify a descriptor via a property. This
> means that it's necessary to configure the assembly plugin within the
> project's POM. This would not normally be a problem, but I'm trying to use
> the assembly plugin to package up an arbitrary project's artifacts (including
> all of the run-time dependencies) without editing the project's POM files.
> It would be great if I could do:
> {noformat}
> $ mvn org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-assembly-plugin:3.1.1-SNAPSHOT:single
> -Dassembly.descriptors=/tmp/magic-copying-descriptor.xml
> {noformat}
> Stay tuned for a patch!
