>             Project: Maven Assembly Plugin
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: component descriptor
>    Affects Versions: 3.3.0
>            Reporter: Ernst Reissner
>            Priority: Major
>
> I have an application where I use the assembly plugin to create a package file for computation software called octave. 
> It is just a file artifactId-version.tar.gz with a predefined folder structure. 
> The problem is that the assembly plugin doesnt do without an assembly identifier. 
> Then the result is something like artifactId-version-assId.tar.gz. 
> Strictly speaking, octave needs the first kind of name without assId. 
> My workaround is to copy xxx-assId.tar.gz to xxx.tar.gz 
> but then the install plugin fails expecting still xxx-assId.tar.gz. 
> My question is now whether it is possible to allow empty assid 
> in case there is a single assembly only. 
> This would solve my problem. 
> The other way to solve is, maybe to understand how the install plugin finds out what to install. 
> Does the assembly plugin pass any kind of information?? 
> I cannot imagine. 
> Help, in any way, very much appreciated.
