Jeff Campbell commented on MASSEMBLY-516:
-----------------------------------------
It is also important to note that the descriptor xml file MUST be in
/src/main/resources/assemblies (not /src/main/resources/assembly).
It seems that half the maven-assembly-plugin documentation indicates that
assembly xml files should go in either:
/src/main/resources/assembly
or
/src/main/resources/assemblies
I wish there was a better defined standard and that the documentation would be
consistent. It might be good to add to this fix the ability to look in either
of these to paths for the descriptor xml file.

> <descriptors>
> <descriptor>myassembly.xml</descriptor>
> </descriptors>
> This didn't work for me. After some fidling (I'm pritty sure that the problem

> referencing the assembly by filename I referenced it by it's ID and voila -
> it worked:
> <descriptorRefs>
> <descriptorRef>my-assembly-descriptor-id</descriptorRef>
> </descriptorRefs>
