Sachin Patel commented on GERONIMO-3261:
----------------------------------------

The current packaging mechanism isn't technically incorrect.  Geronimo itself has a much more complex packaging mechanism, and thus some of the default maven assembly mechnism wouldn't work for it.  The current mechanism takes advantage of moduleSet's in the assembly descriptor and thus it keeps the maintaince of that file to a minium.  Everything in the plugins directory will be automatically be package for inclusion in the plugins directory and same goes for the feature.  If you moved the assembly as its own module, then you cannot use moduleSet's and would have to use dependency sets which you'll have to specifiy every single plugin and feature in the assembly's pom as a dependency as well redefining which subset of those you want in the assembly descriptor.

> J2G currently requires the use of the assembly:assembly command line argument to build the deployable.  This should be changed to work similar to other parts of geronimo.
