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

Was pulling my hair out due to this incorrect online documentation. Found this with Google. Thanks Laird!

> The proper format for {{<include>}} elements should be:
> {code}
> groupId:artifactId:type:classifier[:version]
> {code}
> The [documentation|http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-assembly-plugin/assembly.html#class_dependencySet] given by the {{maven-assembly-plugin}} says (incorrectly):
> {quote}
> Artifact coordinatess may be given in simple groupId:artifactId form, or they may be fully qualified in the form groupId:artifactId:type:version[:classifier].
> {quote}
> Additionally, the Sonatype book [says|http://www.sonatype.com/books/mvnref-book/reference/assemblies-sect-controlling-contents.html#assemblies-sect-fine-tune] (incorrectly? or maybe just confusingly):
> {quote}
> groupId:artifactId:type[:classifier]:version - full artifact identity
> If you need to get really specific, you can specify all the coordinates.
