Geert Schuring commented on MASSEMBLY-459: ------------------------------------------ I completely agree with the reporter that assembly descriptors should be picked up automatically if they are found in the src/main/assembly directory. In my opinion assembly descriptors found there should not even have to be listed in the plugin configuration. > Assembly descriptors should be loaded from standard location. > ------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MASSEMBLY-459 > URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MASSEMBLY-459 > Project: Maven 2.x Assembly Plugin > Issue Type: Improvement > Affects Versions: 2.2-beta-5 > Reporter: Emerson Farrugia > Assignee: John Casey > Priority: Minor > > The Maven standard directory layout uses "src/main/assembly" as the location > for assembly descriptors. > (http://maven.apache.org/guides/introduction/introduction-to-the-standard-directory-layout.html) > The maven-assembly-plugin does not search this directory at all (let alone > first) for descriptor files.
