Karl-Heinz Marbaise commented on MASSEMBLY-697: ----------------------------------------------- Hi Kenney, I would say it is a kind of point of view. You say: making a standard assembly...the project archive is included yes (depending on the descriptor)...but the repository is only intended to create a thing which can be used to build the project with it's dependencies. This is a complete different point of view. See it from Maven's point of view. The local repository contains just the dependencies to build the given project but does *not* contain the project itself (except you do a {{mvn install}}). > Make it possible to include the project jar in the 'repository' assembly > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: MASSEMBLY-697 > URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MASSEMBLY-697 > Project: Maven Assembly Plugin > Issue Type: Bug > Affects Versions: 2.4 > Environment: Windows / Any > Maven 3.2.1 > Reporter: Kenney Westerhof > Attachments: MASSEMBLY-697.tar.gz > > > The example on > http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-assembly-plugin/examples/single/using-repositories.html > does not include an example of producing a repository artifact which > includes the project jar itself, something that is possible (and even > standard) in all other assembly formats.. > It does however, copy the project pom into the repository structure, which > seems inconsistent. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.1.6#6162)
