[jira] Created: (MASSEMBLY-503) Assembly descriptor seems to ignore tags inside tags

Assembly descriptor seems to ignore <include> tags inside <repository> tags
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: MASSEMBLY-503
                 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MASSEMBLY-503
             Project: Maven 2.x Assembly Plugin
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 2.2-beta-5
         Environment: Ubuntu Linux 10 (Lucid), kernel 2.6.35-5-generic-pae.  
            Reporter: Michael Cramer
         Attachments: pom.xml, repository.xml

I would like to create an archive of a local repository containing the artifacts that I'm developing.  Since I don't have access to the central repository, what I'd like to do is distribute this archive to my customers to allow them to unpack it with my company's software.  Since my company already bundles a tomcat server with our software, the repository setup is a simple matter of unpacking this archive in the correct location.  Then all clients that want to access my artifacts can set up a internal repository via the system or user settings.xml.  I've tested this and it works.  Now, the problem is I only want the archive to contain my artifacts, not the dependencies.  I thought that creating an assembly descriptor for my archive that utilizes the <repository> tags would be key, but it seems to be an all or nothing thing.  I can construct a repository with everything (which I don't want) but if I add <include> tags inside the <repository> tags, it either has no effect or it filters out everything except for the current project's artifact (and even then it doesn't include the jar, but I don't think it's supposed to).  I could be doing this incorrectly, but I've spent enough time on it now that think it's a bug.  I've attached my pom and descriptor, if that helps.  Please let me know if you need anything else.
