Sharing a default assembly descriptor across sub modules does not work if invoked from parent project -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MASSEMBLY-391 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MASSEMBLY-391 Project: Maven 2.x Assembly Plugin Issue Type: New Feature Affects Versions: 2.0.1 Reporter: Stephen Evanchik Assignee: John Casey Fix For: 2.2-beta-2 I have a multi-project folders setup like one shown below, root |_ sub-folder1 |_ sub-folder2 |_ sub-folder3 |_ etc Have a root pom.xml at the root folder level and in that I have defined <plugin> <artifactId>maven-assembly-plugin</artifactId> <configuration> <descriptors> <descriptor>src/main/assembly/descriptor.xml </descriptor> </descriptors> </configuration> </plugin> Above descriptor works fine only if I have defined a descriptor file on the src/main/assembly folder for each sub-folder1, sub-folder2, etc. It would be great if maven supports me in defining a common assembly descriptor and can be shared by all the sub modules from a common location. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.codehaus.org/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
