Sejal Patel updated MASSEMBLY-278:
----------------------------------
Attachment: ignore-descriptor.patch
Added a patch to support ignoring missing descriptors so that the build does
not fail out but continues simply without assembling anything.
> Do not fail on missing descriptors
> ----------------------------------
>
> 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
> Attachments: ignore-descriptor.patch
>
>
> 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.
