For repository assembly, include pom.xml project plugins, as an option
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MASSEMBLY-271
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MASSEMBLY-271
Project: Maven 2.x Assembly Plugin
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 2.2-beta-1
Reporter: Elias Ross
One use case for creating a repository archive, like so:
<assembly>
<repositories>
<repository>
<outputDirectory>repository</outputDirectory>
<includeMetadata>true</includeMetadata>
</repository>
</repositories>
</assembly>
Is to allow the project pom to be runnable at a customer or remote site, which
does not have access to the central repository. Runnable, in the sense that
targets such as "exec:java" or the like can be called.
However, the repository archive does not include any plugins, especially custom
ones, that may be required to use a remotely deployed pom.xml.
I classified this as a "bug" since I feel without project plugins included, the
repository is not complete, but may be considered more of a "feature request"
instead.
A work-around is indicate custom plugins using <depend>
