[jira] (MASSEMBLY-497) Inclusion of DEPENDENCIES file in the 'bin' descriptor

     [ https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MASSEMBLY-497?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Dennis Lundberg updated MASSEMBLY-497:
--------------------------------------

    Component/s: predefined descriptors
    Description: 
The bin assembly descriptor does not include DEPENDENCIES files. In Apache Felix, we're using this file to list our dependencies. Despite this file it's not mandatory, it's always nice to inform users about projects dependencies.

We recently realized that -bin artifacts generated during releases, do not include DEPENDENCIES files.

Is it possible to include such file by default by just modifying the includes files in the 'bin' assembly descriptor:
{code:xml}
<fileSet>
      <includes>
        <include>${project.basedir}/README*</include>
        <include>${project.basedir}/LICENSE*</include>
        <include>${project.basedir}/NOTICE*</include>
        <include>${project.basedir}/DEPENDENCIES*</include> <!-- Added -->
      </includes>
</fileSet>
{code}

Thanks.
