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}.
