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 > ----------------------------------------- > > 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 > Fix For: waiting-for-feedback > > > 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)
