Daniel Siegmann commented on MASSEMBLY-125:
-------------------------------------------
I have found the lack of such support to be a severe deficiency. I have an
assembly descriptor which combines some (but not all) of the dependencies into
one jar. However, I need to be able to deliver an analogous source jar.
It is possible to work around this (with dependency:copy and some ant
scripting), but it doesn't work very well.
I suggest an enhancement be made to the dependencySet includes section so a
classifier may be explicitly specified. This will provide flexibility to work
not only for sources, but also for other types of jars (such as javadoc).
I would be happy to provide an example, if desired.

> I think it would be nice to have some mojo "source:jar-with-dependencies" or
> something similar which not only includes the artifact's sources into the JAR

> As a concrete example, the "Maven 2.x Plugin for Eclipse" project, which is
> no Maven but a simple PDE project, uses the MavenEmbedder assembly. There, it
> would be very handy to also have such a source bundle to attach to the
> assembly JAR file inside Eclipse for developing and especially for debugging.
> Would there maybe be any interest (beside my single use case :-)) in such a
> feature? If so, I would eventually give it a try myself if I find the time...
