Glen Mazza reopened MASSEMBLY-320:
----------------------------------
Answering my question does not solve the problem for others or fix the problem
with the documentation. Updating the web page[1] with the answer that you had
just given (or referring them to a link that does provide that answer) does.
To be more specific, in the section "The Assembly Descriptor" on [1] you
describe a Maven "assembly" element but do not explain where it goes within the
POM, keeping anyone who doesn't know or understand the assembly (i.e., most
people reading the docs) clueless about where to place that assembly element.
If you don't want to resort to prose, just by giving a sketch of the parent
elements of <assembly> in the samples on that page would be enough to give the
user a clue of where to insert the element.
If you don't have time to do this, just keep the bug open until you or someone
else does.

> Hi, I'm a complete Maven assembly plugin newbie. The page below[1] describes
