John Casey closed MASSEMBLY-73. ------------------------------- Assignee: John Casey Resolution: Fixed Fix Version/s: 2.2-beta-2 I just enabled this feature, with a slightly different solution. What you're really talking about is a standard assembly descriptor for more than one project. If your descriptor were built into the assembly plugin, it'd simply be a standard descriptorRef configuration. To enable this sort of behavior for standardized descriptors outside the assembly plugin itself, you can do the following: Define a project that contains the standardized descriptor. Here's an example layout based on the integration test in: http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/maven/plugins/maven-assembly-plugin/src/it/basic-features/assemblyDescriptor-artifact The pom.xml looks like this: {code:xml} <project> <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion> <parent> <groupId>org.test</groupId> <artifactId>assemblyDescriptor-artifact</artifactId> <version>1</version> </parent> <artifactId>descriptor</artifactId> <packaging>assembly-descriptor</packaging> <build> <extensions> <extension> <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> <artifactId>maven-assembly-artifact-types</artifactId> <version>2.2-beta-2-SNAPSHOT</version> </extension> </extensions> <plugins> <plugin> <artifactId>maven-assembly-plugin</artifactId> <version>2.2-beta-2-SNAPSHOT</version> </plugin> </plugins> </build> </project> {code} The assembly descriptor is in src/main/resources/assembly-descriptor.xml by default, and looks like this in the example: {code:xml} <assembly> <id>fromArtifact</id> <formats> <format>dir</format> </formats> <includeBaseDirectory>false</includeBaseDirectory> <files> <file> <source>src/config/a/file.txt</source> <outputDirectory>a</outputDirectory> <filtered>true</filtered> </file> <file> <source>src/config/b/file.txt</source> <outputDirectory>b</outputDirectory> <destName>file.txt</destName> <filtered>true</filtered> </file> </files> </assembly> {code} (so, pretty much normal). You can use the standard descriptor after installing it into the repository with a pom.xml like the following: {code:xml} <project> <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion> <parent> <groupId>org.test</groupId> <artifactId>assemblyDescriptor-artifact</artifactId> <version>1</version> </parent> <artifactId>assembly</artifactId> <build> <filters> <filter>a.properties</filter> </filters> <plugins> <plugin> <artifactId>maven-assembly-plugin</artifactId> <version>2.2-beta-2-SNAPSHOT</version> <configuration> <descriptors> <descriptor>org.test:descriptor:1</descriptor> </descriptors> </configuration> <executions> <execution> <id>assembly</id> <phase>package</phase> <goals> <goal>single</goal> </goals> </execution> </executions> </plugin> </plugins> </build> </project> {code} Note the extension in the standard descriptor's pom.xml. > Sharing a default assembly descriptor across sub modules > -------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MASSEMBLY-73 > URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MASSEMBLY-73 > Project: Maven 2.x Assembly Plugin > Issue Type: New Feature > Affects Versions: 2.0.1 > Reporter: vinoth rajasekaran > Assignee: John Casey > Fix For: 2.2-beta-2 > > > I have a multi-project folders setup like one shown below, > > root > |_ sub-folder1 > |_ sub-folder2 > |_ sub-folder3 > |_ etc > > Have a root pom.xml at the root folder level and in that I have defined > <plugin> > <artifactId>maven-assembly-plugin</artifactId> > <configuration> > <descriptors> > <descriptor>src/main/assembly/descriptor.xml > </descriptor> > </descriptors> > </configuration> > </plugin> > > Above descriptor works fine only if I have defined a descriptor file on the > src/main/assembly folder for each sub-folder1, sub-folder2, etc. > It would be great if maven supports me in defining a common assembly > descriptor and can be shared by all the sub modules from a common location. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.codehaus.org/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
