Assembly plugin and two descriptors

Hi,

Why are there two descriptors in the assembly plugin that have many  
identical entries?

I would love to see modello allow one descriptor to reference
element(s) already defined in another descriptor.  This way
assemly's "shared component" feature does not look like a hack ;-)

Yes, I read that but what's the point you're just cutting and pasting  
between the two of them for now.

Hi Jason,

Here is a comment on top of component.xml

<!-- Note Definitions of FileSet, FileItem, and DependencySet are
     already defined in descriptor.mod, but repeated  here since
     Modello currently does not have capability to share files
-->

It is intended to have component.xml to share definitions already defined in
descriptor.mod.  But modello does not have this capability.

I had a discussion with Brett and he agreed that we need to repeat the info
in 2 places.
