Wojtek commented on MASSEMBLY-903:
----------------------------------

Maybe a bit (in our case it's already bloated with various asciidoc 
configuration, which I trimmed 75% due to finally migrating to parent pom). I 
was considering above but couldn't make it work with parent pom (type=pom) – 
most likely because it's type and doesn't contain actual descriptor.

Why put that in pom? Because the shared descriptor would be short (very short 2 
directories so in total about 10-15 lines) and it's more convenient to maintain 
single project with master/parent project instead of doing that and in addition 
maintain additional project just to define descriptor.

> Allow defining descriptors within pom.xml

> 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.
