Wouter Hermeling commented on MASSEMBLY-73: ------------------------------------------- I'm confused. Why not choose for uploading the assembly descriptor in a repository like it is done for the site.xml of the site plugin??? With this solution: * If i want to use the solution above, i have to change the packaging of my parent project to: assembly-descriptor * i cannot to reuse an assembly descriptor in another project (with a different parent pom hierarchy NOTE: Since i require this functionality, i might implement a site-plugin like solution and post the patch here. > Sharing a default assembly descriptor across sub modules > -------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MASSEMBLY-73 > URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MASSEMBLY-73 > Project: Maven 2.x Assembly Plugin > Issue Type: New Feature > Affects Versions: 2.0.1 > Reporter: vinoth rajasekaran > Assignee: John Casey > Fix For: 2.2-beta-2 > > > I have a multi-project folders setup like one shown below, > > root > |_ sub-folder1 > |_ sub-folder2 > |_ sub-folder3 > |_ etc > > Have a root pom.xml at the root folder level and in that I have defined > <plugin> > <artifactId>maven-assembly-plugin</artifactId> > <configuration> > <descriptors> > <descriptor>src/main/assembly/descriptor.xml > </descriptor> > </descriptors> > </configuration> > </plugin> > > Above descriptor works fine only if I have defined a descriptor file on the > src/main/assembly folder for each sub-folder1, sub-folder2, etc. > It would be great if maven supports me in defining a common assembly > descriptor and can be shared by all the sub modules from a common location. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.codehaus.org/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
