In the org.apache:apache:7 pom, a common parent-pom for apache projects,
I see in the apache-release profile section, a part which creates the
source-release artifact.
This runs the maven-assembly-plugin, and passes it a dependency on
org.apache.apache.resources:apache-source-release-assembly-descriptor:1.0.2.
In the configuration, it specifies a descriptorRef of
${sourceReleaseAssemblyDescriptor}.
I looked in the documentation for the maven-assembly-plugin, and can't
find this usage documented.
So - some questions:
Is the value of descriptorRef ( ${sourceReleaseAssemblyDescriptor} ) a
maven "property"? If so, where is it set?
The "descriptorRef" parameter is documented to refer to one of 4
built-in assembly descriptors. Is this usage allowing it to refer to
some other non-built-in descriptor? If so, how is the linkage
established (I presume via the "dependency" element, but what name(s)?
need to match with what to make this magic happen?
Or, have I guessed incorrectly as to what is happening here ;-) ?
