slawekjaranowski opened a new pull request, #174:
URL: https://github.com/apache/maven-assembly-plugin/pull/174
Following this checklist to help us incorporate your
contribution quickly and easily:
- [x] Make sure there is a [JIRA
issue](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MASSEMBLY) filed
for the change (usually before you start working on it). Trivial
changes like typos do not
require a JIRA issue. Your pull request should address just this
issue, without
pulling in other changes.
- [x] Each commit in the pull request should have a meaningful subject line
and body.
- [x] Format the pull request title like `[MASSEMBLY-XXX] - Fixes bug in
ApproximateQuantiles`,
where you replace `MASSEMBLY-XXX` with the appropriate JIRA issue.
Best practice
is to use the JIRA issue title in the pull request title and in the
first line of the
commit message.
- [ ] Write a pull request description that is detailed enough to
understand what the pull request does, how, and why.
- [x] Run `mvn clean verify` to make sure basic checks pass. A more
thorough check will
be performed on your pull request automatically.
- [x] You have run the integration tests successfully (`mvn -Prun-its clean
verify`).
If your pull request is about ~20 lines of code you don't need to sign an

Agreement](https://www.apache.org/licenses/icla.pdf) if you are unsure
please ask on the developers list.

I concur that allowing inlining configuration of assembly descriptor would be
the most straightforward (and simplest to manage and maintain) giving a couple
of handy options (like defining type of inheritance). In the dup issue
(massembly-903) it was mentioned that the con to this would be making "pom file
bloated" but truth be told - they already can be quite bloated

-
That use of {{maven-dependency-plugin}} is interesting; I'll have to read more
about it. Thanks for the pointer. That technique may prove useful one day.
Nevertheless it means that in my child POM I have to declare some other plugin
with its own comprehensive configuration. I don't have to do that with the
Maven Shade Plugin. I don't have to do that with the Spring Maven Plugin. I
don't have to do that withe Versions Maven Plugin. I don't have to do that with
the Launch4J plugin. I don't have to do that with the (insert the name of
virtually any other Maven plugin).
I just want to inherit everything automatically from the POM without additional
plugins and artifacts. Maybe you don't want that. But I want that. It's not
available now. So I am filing a ticket for this improvement, so that the Maven
Plugin Assembly, like 99.9% of other Maven plugins can be 100% configured
within the POM without the need for additional artifacts or additional plugin
configurations just to get the additional artifacts included in the project.

You can create a JAR with your assembly descriptor
This makes it available in the child:

Package your descriptor, reference it as a dependency for the plugin in your
child, it is available in you current reactor.

Actually it turns how that this file doesn't even include the "attached"
assembly descriptor.
[~michael-o], here are the files uploaded to Maven Central for the parent POM
you mentioned:
https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/net/sf/michael-o/michael-o-parent/17/
Which one of those files contains the assembly descriptor you "attached" to
your parent POM?

Garret Wilson commented on MASSEMBLY-992:

I'm feeling a little frustrated here. I thought the description of what I
wanted was understandable, but maybe I am not being clear. Let me try again.
# I can configure Maven Shade Plugin in My Parent POM with coordinates
{{com.example:parent}} and publish that to Maven Central.
# Then in My Child Project, a completely separate project, I need merely
indicate that the parent POM is {{com.example:parent}}.
# Finally I can issue {{mvn clean package}} in My Child Project, and it will
create a shaded JAR according to the configuration I placed in My Parent POM
_with no further action required on the part of the developer_.
It is my understanding that scenario I described cannot be done using the Maven
Assembly Plugin as currently designed. It is my understanding that
[~michael-o]'s "attached resources" will not work automatically as in the
scenario I described for the Maven Shade Plugin above. If I am in error in my
understanding, I will happily admit it—but please explain this in detail.
Note that we discussed this in depth [on Stack
Overflow|https://stackoverflow.com/q/72416739] and no one else had heard of
some way to attach files to a parent POM so that they are automatically
available to the child project. So if you have some magic formula,
[~michael-o], I would glad to year it, but you still haven't explained how a
ZIP file you managed to get uploaded to Maven Central helps my child project
without extra development work.

Pardon me, but either I'm a little slow or somehow we're talking past each
other or something else.
So let's say that in my POM I use this:
{code:xml}
net.sf.michael-o
michael-o-parent
17
{code}
I see that's published on Maven Central.
Now when I issue:
{code}
mvn clean package
{code}
You're saying that Maven will then automatically go out and download
[{{michael-o-parent-17-site-resources.zip}}|https://search.maven.org/remotecontent?filepath=net/sf/michael-o/michael-o-parent/17/michael-o-parent-17-site-resources.zip],
with no further action on my part, and place them somewhere?
What mechanism does that? I've never heard of such a mechanism.
And where would Maven place {{michael-o-parent-17-site-resources.zip}} so that
it would be available to the child POM?

Please explain how to attach an arbitrary file to a parent POM that I publish
on Maven Central. I wasn't aware Maven had that facility, but I would love to
learn.

You can attached the assembly desc to your parent POM, I think a separate one
is not required. You should give it a try because I'm certain that does the
job. If it does, no one is going to implement this request.

-
Yes, I even linked to the "Sharing Descriptors" document in the description of
this ticket. (Thanks for fixing the typo in my other link, by the way.)
# But this technique requires me to create a separate project and publish a
separate artifact to Maven Central. I already have a parent POM that I am
configuring. I want to configure the plugin in the parent POM _without
publishing an additional artifact_.
# It's unclear to me whether the "Sharing Descriptors" technique allows
interpolation inside the {{myassembly.xml}} file itself. Maybe you can clear
that up for me. If I publish {{myassembly.xml}} as a separate artifact as
described in the "Sharing Descriptors" document, will property references
inside {{myassembly.xml}} be interpolated at build time based upon the
properties of the POM that is using the shared descriptor artifact as a
dependency? (I would guess the answer is "no", but I would be happy if you
would explain that I am mistaken.)
Lastly I understand that there are complicated workarounds. But for 99% of
plugins, I don't have to publish a separate artifact just to provide a
configuration that can be inherited by a child POM. In addition I want to use
interpolation based upon the child POM's properties. Thus I am opening this
ticket to allow definition of an assembly descriptor within the POM itself.

{quote}One can use remote resources for that.{quote}
And what do you mean by "remote resources"? Do you mean simply putting my
descriptor up on some HTTP server and putting its URL in the POM? But that
defeats the purpose of the the Maven build and artifact version management.
In can inherit from a parent POM a ready-made configuration for an execution of
Maven Shade Plugin (as one example out of dozens if not hundreds) without
writing an external file or hosting a "remote resource" or publishing a
separate artifact with the descriptor. I just configure the Maven Shade Plugin
in the parent POM, and it's available in the child POM. The gist of this ticket
is that I should be able to do the same thing with the Maven Assembly Plugin
without jumping through hoops and creating elaborate workarounds.
