[jira] Created: (MASSEMBLY-537) inheritance on assembly descriptors

inheritance on assembly descriptors
-----------------------------------

                 Key: MASSEMBLY-537
                 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MASSEMBLY-537
             Project: Maven 2.x Assembly Plugin
          Issue Type: New Feature
            Reporter: Shaun
            Priority: Minor


I frequently use custom assembly descriptors, but have found it to be cumbersome to copy over the same one only to change a few settings. 

Would it be possibly to allow inheritance in assembly descriptors, much like a parent pom type relationship?

I'm thinking you could declare a 'parentAssembly' in your assembly descriptor and then just change what you need.
