Ability to index into a nominated dependency JAR to identify files to include 
in the assembly (Im thinking .so/.dll etc)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

         Key: MASSEMBLY-66
         URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MASSEMBLY-66
     Project: Maven 2.x Assembly Plugin
        Type: Improvement

 Environment: Linux, x86_64, x86, win32
    Reporter: Andy Brook
    Priority: Critical


Im trying to bundle a SWT application, I'm almost there, the only thing missing 
is the ability to include .so files in the assembly that are currently stored 
inside a dependancy.  As far as I can tell there is no neat way to pull a few 
files out of a given dependency...

My example is the SWT libraries, the GTK linux specific JAR in the eclipse 
bundle also contain the native libraries.  Ive renamed this to fit into a 
maven2 repository, but really dont want to have to copy the files manually.

Ideally, I would like to be able to specify the dependency in mind and extend 
the fileSet element to allow the context of the include to work only within 
that dependency.

If there is something Im missing and this can be done with existing plugins Id 
like to hear about it!

eg:
::POM::
    <!--ECLIPSE SWT GTK-->   
    <dependency>
      <groupId>org.eclipse.swt</groupId>
      <artifactId>gtk-linux-x86</artifactId>
      <version>3.1.1</version>
      <scope>runtime</scope>
    </dependency>

::assembly-descriptor.xml::
    <!-- /native -->
        <fileSet>
        <dependency>org.eclipse.swt:gtk-linux-x86:3.1.1</dependency>
        <outputDirectory>/lib</outputDirectory>
        <includes>
                <include>*.so</include>
        </includes>
    </fileSet>
