Configurable behavior on empty assemblies

[Jeffrey E Care <ca...@us.ibm.com>]

I'm packaging my (multi-module) product using an assembly of assemblies 
approach for projects that have "extra" stuff that needs to be included in 
the distribution (i.e. other than their regular attached JAR). I'm having 
problems with inheriting the assembly plugin executions in cases where 
there is nothing else to package. I can't figure out how to make the 
assembly plugin no-op in cases where it discovers that there is nothing to 
assemble.

Is there such a feature? If not what is the correct way to go about 
requesting it?
