Keep in mind that any dependencies specified in the POM will have their
transitive dependencies placed in the
assembly as well.

+
+* How to reuse assembly's component
+
+ There are situations where your project can produce multiple assemblies
with the same set of
+ denpendencySets, fileSets and/or files. Instead of duplicating those
elements in all assembly descriptors,
+ you can refactor them out into common component descriptor(s)
+
+ Here is an example of assembly descriptor that uses component descriptor(s)
+
+-----
+ <assembly>
+ <id>someid</id>
+ <formats>
+ <format>zip</format>
+ </formats>
+ <componentDescriptors>
+ <componentDescriptor>src/main/assembly/component.xml</componentDescriptor>
+ </componentDescriptors>
+ </assembly>
+-----
+
+
+ and here is an example of component descriptor file
+
+-----
+<component>
+ <dependencySets>
+ <dependencySet>
+ ....
+ </dependencySet>
+ ....
+ </dependencySets>
+ <fileSets>
+ <fileSet>
+ .....
+ </fileSet>
+ .....
+ </fileSets>
+ <files>
+ <file>
+ .....
+ </file>
+ </files>
+</component>
