-------------------------------------------

             Summary: Allow to include transitive dependency attachments
                 Key: MASSEMBLY-663
                 URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MASSEMBLY-663
             Project: Maven Assembly Plugin
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: dependencySet
    Affects Versions: 2.4
            Reporter: Alexander Ekushev
            Priority: Minor


Say I want to create an assembly that contains jars, sources and javadocs for 
the module and all its dependencies.
Currently it works for jar dependencies only, but I cannot retrieve sources and 
javadocs unless I mention them in the pom.
In the attached example module b depends on module a and I has to specify its 
dependencies 3 times: as a jar, sources and javadoc.
The result I am trying to assembly is:

{pre}
b-1.0
    javadoc
        a-1.0-javadoc.jar
        b-1.0-javadoc.jar
    lib
        a-1.0.jar
        b-1.0.jar
    src
        a-1.0-sources.jar
        b-1.0-sources.jar
{pre}

It would be convenient if I could mention the dependency only once. There can 
be variants to make this happen:
* Add a flag (e.g. "useTransitiveProjectAttachments") to include all transitive 
project attachments
* Add a classifier to add to dependencies (similar to "attachmentClassifier" in 
moduleSet/binaries)

Please close this issue, if assembly-plugin is not suited for this purposes. 
Required functionality can be achieved by using 
dependency:copy-dependencies goal to download all dependencies - but it lacks 
the outputFileNameMapping feature of the assembly plugin.
