Use classpath resources as fileSets

Key: MASSEMBLY-476
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MASSEMBLY-476
Project: Maven 2.x Assembly Plugin
Issue Type: Improvement
Affects Versions: 2.2-beta-4
Environment: Operating System : Ubuntu 8.04
Reporter: Leandro Aispuru
We want to do assemblies of our projects using shared assembly descriptors
(http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-assembly-plugin/examples/sharing-descriptors.html).
Also, we want to include some directories and files in the assemblies, but we
want to store that particular directories and/or files inside the shared
descriptor artifact JAR.
For example in our shared descriptor jar is included a file
src/main/assembly/files/startup/startup.sh and we want to have the assembly
generated containing that file.
Now when we execute the assembly plugin on a project using the shared
descriptor, files contained inside sharedDescriptor.jar aren't copied into the
assembly.
The shared assembly descriptor has a fileSet defined like this:
<fileSet>
<directory>files</directory>
<outputDirectory></outputDirectory>
<filtered>true</filtered>
<includes>
<include>**/*.sh</include>
<include>**/*.csh</include>
</includes>
<fileMode>0755</fileMode>
</fileSet>
And the *.sh and *.csh files are stored inside sharedDescriptors.jar.
We have a project "A" and "B" that use the shared descriptor. We want to
include sh and csh files on the assembly of A and B but the only way to do this
is that the sh and csh files are duplicated in the file structure of both
projects in /files directory instead of instead of have them only one place (
at /files directory in sharedDescriptors project)
Is it possible to provide these files (*.csh, *.sh) within the shared
descriptor jar?
If not, we propose extending the assembly plugin so it can have defined a
FileSet in the form:
<fileSet>
<directory>classpath:/assembly/files</directory>
...
</fileSet>
