Curtis Rueden created MASSEMBLY-623:
---------------------------------------
Summary: Assembly documentation does not list all supported formats
Key: MASSEMBLY-623
URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MASSEMBLY-623
Project: Maven 2.x Assembly Plugin
Issue Type: Improvement
Affects Versions: 2.3
Environment: Website
Reporter: Curtis Rueden
The assembly plugin supports several different assembly formats. However, the
supported formats are enumerated in two different places:
* On the [front page|http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-assembly-plugin/]
* On the [formats/format element of the assembly descriptor
page|http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-assembly-plugin/assembly.html#assembly].
These two lists do not match; each has at least one item missing from the
other. These lists should be reconciled such that either:
A) each is a complete listing of all supported formats; or
B) one says something like "etc." with a link to the other, as a canonical
complete listing.
I would argue that the formats/format section should list all supported types,
since the assembly descriptor page is supposed to be a complete technical
description of the descriptor format. The listing on the front page could
either link to the descriptor page, or else fully recapitulate the listing, as
long as new formats supported in the future continue to get added to both.
