Hi, here my 2 cents regarding on building a custom assembly. Last time I needed a custom assembly I did start with Karaf.
I used the maven-assembly plugin in conjunction with the maven-features-plugin of karaf (beware the latest one is being renamed right now in 3.0.0-SNAPSHOT) This way it's quite easy building a custom assembly for your project. So I would start with a standard Karaf and add the features needed, most project already have features.xml.
