[ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MASSEMBLY-76?page=comments#action_85026 ] MMA commented on MASSEMBLY-76: ------------------------------
Hi, I am looking for the same feature actually. For plugin site, there is a goal site:attach-descriptor that "adds the site descriptor to the list of files to be installed/deployed". This goal is called when intalling/deploying. Wouldn't we need the same kind of goal for assembly plugin ? > [assembly plugin] improve or clarify inheriting/reusing descriptors > ------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MASSEMBLY-76 > URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MASSEMBLY-76 > Project: Maven 2.x Assembly Plugin > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: Jacob Robertson > > I want to declare a new reusable assembly descriptor. Then, in my parent pom > I can reference that descriptor, and all children projects will be able to do > assembly:assembly without specifying the descriptor.
