After looking at the code of the plugin, it appears to have been an intentional change (and a good one, IMHO). But the documentation indeed needs to be updated. > Error in Example for sharing-descriptors? > ----------------------------------------- > > Key: MASSEMBLY-516 > URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MASSEMBLY-516 > Project: Maven 2.x Assembly Plugin > Issue Type: Bug > Environment: - > Reporter: Knut Pape > > On Page > http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-assembly-plugin/examples/sharing-descriptors.html > It says that the assembly file from a jar on the class-path shoulld be > included the following way: > <descriptors> > <descriptor>myassembly.xml</descriptor> > </descriptors> > This didn't work for me. After some fidling (I'm pritty sure that the problem > was not a spelling mistake) I came to the following solution: Instead of > referencing the assembly by filename I referenced it by it's ID and voila - > it worked: > <descriptorRefs> > <descriptorRef>my-assembly-descriptor-id</descriptorRef> > </descriptorRefs> -- 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
