Sejal Patel commented on MASSEMBLY-278:
---------------------------------------
Yes I just want to configure it 1 time in the parent pom and then all the child
projects just automatically invoke 1 of the descriptors (like descriptor.xml).
However, the descriptorSourceDirectory does not work because the first time it
finds a child that does NOT have a descriptor folder, it fails out. Thus the
reason I was hoping to have this flag to tell it not to error out just because
there is no descriptors for it to use.

> Key: MASSEMBLY-278
> URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MASSEMBLY-278
> Project: Maven 2.x Assembly Plugin
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: 2.2-beta-1
> Reporter: Sejal Patel
>
> Assembly requires too much boilerplate right now to be used in a reactor
> based project because of the way it fails out if no descriptors are found. I
> suggest adding a boolean parameter (probably ignoreMissingDescriptors) which
> can default to false for backwards compatability but when set to true, does
> nothing if no descriptors are found.
> Then in org.apache.maven.plugin.assembly.io.DefaultAssemblyReader line 131
> add the check for that new parameter so that it only fails out if it was
> configured to fail out. Otherwise it just goes about its business of assembly
> nothing (which seems like a perfectly reasonable logic as well).
> By doing these things, it makes it possible to configure the assembly plugin
> 1 time in a parent pom and then not have to configure it in several (in my
> case 11 out of 19) different modules again and again.
