Hi,

(...I apologize if this ends up being a duplicate post, but it seems like I
screwed up the first one...)

I have a project that I will be distributing as a package of source/poms etc
(the 'project' id in assembly). There doesn't seem to be a way to customize
the 'project' assembly descriptor to exclude some files I need to from the
client pom.xml, so I need to run a custom assembly descriptor but I've run
into an issue.

This descriptor will be used by many poms, and I do not want to include it
in my distribution. I've been following the directions in pages 252-255 of
the Sonatype/O'Reilly "Maven: The Definitive guide" first edition paper back
(this is maven 2.2) and I now have a custom descriptor installed such that I
can use it when it is configured as a maven-assembly-plugin dependency, the
appropriate assemblyId is specified as a descriptorRef in that pom and the
assembly:single goal is attached to the package phase.

How can I call the mvn assembly:assembly goal on a project from the command
line, specifying this custom descriptor, without including references to it
in a project's pom so that these project's builds will not fail when run by
the recipients of my distribution? Generally, how do you use a custom
assembly descriptor from the command line without adding it as an assembly
plugin dependency to the target project's pom?

Thank you.
