> When used in the 'dir' format, I would argue that an empty finalName is reasonable.
> For example, I would expect the following configuration, with the 'dir' format, to output the assembled files in ${foo.baseDirectory}
>     <configuration>
>         <descriptors>
>           <descriptor>src/main/assembly/foo.xml</descriptor>
>         </descriptors>
>         <outputDirectory>${foo.baseDirectory}</outputDirectory>
>         <finalName/>
>     </configuration>
> The actual behaviour is to silently ignore the configured empty finalName and use the default finalName value, which is append this to the outputDirectory.
> Arguably there are two bugs here:
>     finalName is silently ignored (if this is invalid, it should report an error)
>     the empty finalName is not honoured.
> Specify '.' as the finalName (<finalName>.</finalName>) seems to work as a work-around, at least for unix-like systems.
