assembly plugin - pass property from pom.xml to assembly descriptor
Are properties defined in pom.xml available in the execution of an
assembly descriptor invoked from pom.xml via the assembly plugin?
If not, is there a way to pass such definitions to the assembly plugin?

Actually, to answer my own question, I found that they are.
Given
<properties>
<mykey>myvalue</mykey>
</properties>
in pom.xml
the assembly descriptor has access to this property via
${project.properties.mykey}

I don't think so (TBH, I didn't even try, because I first saw… see below)

You can use the maven-resources-plugin to copy and filter the
descriptor, and point the maven-assembly-plugin at the filtered
descriptor. This is what Sonatype does when packaging Nexus:
