maven assembly plugin 2.2 multimodule projects

[Steve Cohen <sc...@javactivity.org>]

I'm having a bit of difficulty with the multimodule project 
documentation for the 2.2 plugin.

The basic idea, as expressed here:
http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-assembly-plugin/examples/multimodule/module-binary-inclusion-simple.html

seems to be that you have a parent pom and a child pom (distribution) 
with distribution as one of the modules of the parent pom.

It seems that everything is working as I would like it to except that 
the <finalName> and <appendAssemblyId> tags are being ignored and the 
default values of these are being used.

I have tried putting these tags in the parent pom, the child pom, and in 
both and in no case is my desired final name used.

The examples are silent on the use of these tags, but I need them to 
work.  Can someone tell me how?

===================================================================

I would point out an erratum on the site as well:

Under "The Assembly Descriptor" on this page is a snippet beginning with

<assembly 
xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-assembly-plugin/assembly/1.1.0"
   xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
 
xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-assembly-plugin/assembly/1.1.0 
http://maven.apache.org/xsd/assembly-1.1.0.xsd">

This snippet goes on to use the new <useAllReactorProjects> tag, but 
this will not work with the 1.1.0 schema.  Instead, it must be 1.1.2.
