Eric Haszlakiewicz commented on MASSEMBLY-517:
----------------------------------------------
Just because it wasn't accidental doesn't mean it was a good idea.
The problem here is that now every single one of the applications that does
this needs to be changed, and it's not just my apps that depend on this
behaviour.
Why is it a problem to omit it in the assembly descriptor if, by specifying
appendAssemblyId false, it gets left off anyway? And what am I supposed to put
in the id in that case, just some random string? That seems like you took a
relatively natural way to cause the classifier to be omitted, and made it
needlessly verbose.
> Assembly fails with empty id element now

> Key: MASSEMBLY-517
> URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MASSEMBLY-517
> Project: Maven 2.x Assembly Plugin
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 2.2
> Reporter: Eric Haszlakiewicz
> Priority: Critical
>
> There is a serious regression in behaviour between version 2.2-beta-5 and
> 2.2. With version 2.2, assembly descriptors that have an empty id element no
> longer work. i.e.:
> <assembly>
> <id></id>
> <formats><format>tar.gz</format></formats>
> </assembly>
>
> The error message is:
> [INFO] [assembly:single {execution: assemble-tar-gzip}]
> [INFO] Reading assembly descriptor: src/main/assembly/assembly.xml
> [INFO]
> ------------------------------------------------------------------------
> [ERROR] BUILD FAILURE
> [INFO]

> [INFO] : org.apache.maven.plugin.assembly.model.assem...@15fddb33
> Assembly is incorrectly configured:
> Assembly: is not configured correctly: Assembly ID must be present and
> non-empty.
