> We use the assembly plugin to generate a general distribution of our product by packaging a lot of "final" artifacts non-transitively. Works fine. However, for some project specific distributions we need to drop some of the artifacts and add some others. However, in this case we must now repeat the complete unchanged dependencies in the project specific version.
> We came up with a solution using the POM as dependency to get all the standard artifacts and declare a runtime dep to this POM in the project specific distribution (with exclusions). Unfortunately in this case we can now use neither a DependencySet without transitive dependencies (then we will include the dependent POM only) nor with complete transitive deps, since then we will not only include the "final" deps of the general distribution, but their transitive dependencies also.
> Therefore we patched the assembly plugin to support a new flag "inlinePomDependencies" that forces the plugin to handle a POM dependency as if the dependencies of the dependent POM had been declared directly in the current one. If the DependencySet is collecting all transitive deps, the resulting archive will simply not contain all dependent artifacts of type "pom", if the DependencySet is collecting direct dependencies only, it will also include all direct dependencies of the transitive dependencies of type "pom".
