Michael Osipov commented on MASSEMBLY-903: ------------------------------------------ Wouldn't that really bloat the POM? Why not work with remote resources and use references to them? Have a look here: http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-assembly-plugin/examples/sharing-descriptors.html > Allow defining descriptors within pom.xml > ----------------------------------------- > > Key: MASSEMBLY-903 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MASSEMBLY-903 > Project: Maven Assembly Plugin > Issue Type: Improvement > Affects Versions: 3.1.1 > Reporter: Wojtek > Priority: Minor > > It would be very handy it it were possible to define actual assembly > description *within* pom.xml file, this would allow defining descriptors in > the parent pom.xml and inherit it across the project with ease. To that end, > facilitating `merge` inheritance would be a huge bonus. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
