Yes I would also like to know what it does, and why it is necessary to use -
should we not simple be able to deploy simple wars that are portal
compatible? can't pluto detect their existence?

I have found this, but it doesn't really answer my question - from the
AssembleMojo javadoc:
 * The AssembleMojo is responsible for assembling a web application for
deployment
 * into the Pluto portlet container.  Assembly, in this context, is the
process of
 * updating a web application's WEB-INF/web.xml with Pluto specific
parameters for 
 * deployment in Pluto.   
 * <p>
 * This Mojo is able to operate on individual descriptors by specifying 
 * <code>portletXml</code>, <code>webXml</code>, and
<code>webXmlDestination</code>.
 * If your project uses standard Maven 2 directory layouts, the defaults
will
 * provide proper values.
 * <p/>
 * Example Maven 2 <code>pom.xml</code> usage:
