Stephen Evanchik commented on MASSEMBLY-391:
--------------------------------------------

Summary:

maven-assembly-plugin dependencies are only resolved in superpom's
pluginManagement section OR in the declaring POM.

Details:

My issue is that I started with a project structure of:

 root -> sub-project -> sub-module

I have created a shared-project-assembly and installed it in the repository.

I configure the assembly plugin like so:


<plugin>
  <artifactId>maven-assembly-plugin</artifactId>
  <version>2.2-beta-2</version>
  <dependencies>
    <dependency>
      <groupId>my-group</groupId>
      <artifactId>shared-project-assembly</artifactId>
      <version>0.0.1</version>
    </dependency>
  </dependencies>
  <executions>
    ..... just like in the FAQ .....
  </executions>
</plugin>


If I place that assembly configuration in a leaf project such as:

root -> sub-project -> sub-module-distribution

It only works if I invoke mvn package from sub-module-distribution.

If I invoke it from sub-project I receive the attached error.

However, if I place the plugin configuration in my superpom's pluginManagement
section it works just fine.

If I make a mistake in the dependency section of the assembly configuration,
such as:

    <dependency>
      <groupId>NOT_THE_RIGHT_GROUP</groupId>
      <artifactId>shared-project-assembly</artifactId>
      <version>0.0.1</version>
    </dependency>

and execute mvn package from sub-project nothing happens, there is no error
indicating that Maven is unable to resolve artifact. If I move in to
sub-module-distribution and execute mvn package I receive the error indicating
that the artifact cannot be resolved.

> 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.
