Kevin Calcagno commented on MASSEMBLY-516:
------------------------------------------

I discovered this same issue.  After looking at the code of the plugin, it appears to have been an intentional change (and a good one, IMHO).  But the documentation indeed needs to be updated.

> It says that the assembly file from a jar on the class-path shoulld be included the following way:
> <descriptors>
>    <descriptor>myassembly.xml</descriptor>
> </descriptors>
> This didn't work for me. After some fidling (I'm pritty sure that the problem was not a spelling mistake) I came to the following solution: Instead of referencing the assembly by filename I referenced it by it's ID and voila - it worked:
> <descriptorRefs>
>   <descriptorRef>my-assembly-descriptor-id</descriptorRef>
> </descriptorRefs>
