John Casey closed MASSEMBLY-459.
--------------------------------

       Resolution: Won't Fix
    Fix Version/s: 2.2-beta-6
         Assignee: John Casey

it is possible to configure the <descriptorSourceDirectory> configuration. Unfortunately, since this directory may contain both the assembly descriptors _and_ component descriptors that are shared between assemblies, it's not feasible to scan and load the whole directory's worth of files.

> The Maven standard directory layout uses "src/main/assembly" as the location for assembly descriptors. (http://maven.apache.org/guides/introduction/introduction-to-the-standard-directory-layout.html)
> The maven-assembly-plugin does not search this directory at all (let alone first) for descriptor files. Should we be able to put file.xml in that location, specify file.xml in the plugin configuration, and trust in conventions that the plugin will find it?
