Eric Haszlakiewicz commented on MASSEMBLY-517:
----------------------------------------------
Well from my POV this is a horrible change because:
1) If your main artifact IS the one that you are describing with the assembly
descriptor this is the only way to create it. The fact that a "pom" packaging
artifact gets deployed is actually not desired, but can't be avoided.
2) Having to specify a classifier AND an alternate packaging seems redundant.
3) There are projects that already use this, many of mine included. This
change breaks the builds for all of those.
4) This is a huge behaviour change to include at the last minute in the
transition from a beta to non-beta release.

> 2.2. With version 2.2, assembly descriptors that have an empty id element no
> longer work. i.e.:
> <assembly>
> <id></id>
> <formats><format>tar.gz</format></formats>
> </assembly>

> The error message is:
> [INFO] [assembly:single {execution: assemble-tar-gzip}]
