[jira] Commented: (MASSEMBLY-585) Add support for componentDescriptorRefs in Assemblies

["Lars Corneliussen (JIRA)" <ji...@codehaus.org>]

    [ https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MASSEMBLY-585?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=284676#comment-284676 ] 

Lars Corneliussen commented on MASSEMBLY-585:
---------------------------------------------

Looking at {{DefaultAssemblyReader.java}} it seems to make more sense, just to add {{locator.addStrategy( new PrefixedClasspathLocatorStrategy( "/assemblies/components/" ) ); }} in {{mergeComponentsWithMainAssembly}}

*Please change the title accordingly*

> It would be great, if we could compose assembly descriptors from components provided by dependencies.
> This would help to apply favor composition over inheritance.

> ComponentDescriptors should override componentDescriptorRefs; hence be applied later.
