John Cheng commented on MASSEMBLY-455: -------------------------------------- Thanks. That worked. I tried adding the /assembly/fileSets/fileSet/outputDirectory element into the example jar-with-dependencies.xml shown in the documentation (http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-assembly-plugin/descriptor-refs.html) and tested it out. The assembly descriptors in the documentation is definitely different than what is included in the maven-assembly-plugin-2.2-beta-2.jar. And the actual descriptors in the jar refers to directories like "target/classes" instead of ${project.build.outputDirectory}. > Incorrect documentation for Pre-defined Descriptor Files > -------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MASSEMBLY-455 > URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MASSEMBLY-455 > Project: Maven 2.x Assembly Plugin > Issue Type: Bug > Affects Versions: 2.2-beta-2 > Reporter: John Cheng > > The descriptors at > http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-assembly-plugin/descriptor-refs.html do > not match the actual descriptors included in the > maven-assembly-plugin-2.2-beta-2.jar file.
