John Casey updated MASSEMBLY-76:
--------------------------------
Fix Version/s: (was: 2.2)
2.2-beta-3
This is a documentation issue. Actually, the simplest way to solve the problem
is to create a project to house your new assembly descriptor, where that
descriptor might be called 'myassembly.xml'. It should live in the following
directory structure within your assembly-descriptor project:
{noformat}
src/main/resources/assemblies/myassembly.xml
{noformat}
Then, you can build/release/deploy this project, and reference it from the
projects in which you want to create an assembly of this new type, using:
{code:xml}
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-assembly-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.2-beta-2</version>
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>your.group.id</groupId>
<artifactId>my-assembly-descriptor</artifactId>
<version>blah</version>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
[...]
</plugin>
{code}
I just need to document this on the plugin website.

>
> 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. This actually works
> halfway, but then the assembly plugin can't find the descriptor - because it
> doesn't live inside of the child project. I was trying to play around with
> putting the descriptor in the parent project, but since the packaging has to
> be "pom" that of course wouldn't work.
> Unless I misunderstand, the way this currently works, I'd have to declare the
> descriptor for each and every child project. Which would be very
> unfortunate, since the 3 supplied predefined descriptors don't meet my needs.
> If there is a way to do this, then the improvement request is to improve the
> documentation for this since I couldn't figure it out...
