[jira] Created: (MASSEMBLY-320) Website page needs to be updated to
tell us where assembly descriptor goes.
Website page needs to be updated to tell us where assembly descriptor goes.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MASSEMBLY-320
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MASSEMBLY-320
Project: Maven 2.x Assembly Plugin
Issue Type: Bug
Reporter: Glen Mazza
Hi, I'm a complete Maven assembly plugin newbie. The page below[1] describes an assembly descriptor, but I don't know *where* it goes--is it part of the POM, or a separate file that the pom references, or...? Please update [1] to tell us that information.
Thanks,
Glen

--------------------------------
Resolution: Not A Bug
If you looked at any page except the one you keep quoting, you'd notice that there are a large number of examples showing how to configure the assembly plugin in the POM, and how to write an assembly descriptor (which is not embedded in the POM). The page link I posted before is correct; the second example shows the proper configuration of the assembly plugin in the POM, and if an example assembly descriptor is not found on that page (which IIRC it is) then there are multiple other examples that show how it's done.
This topic is covered at length as a side-effect of the examples on the site, and at least once directly in the usage page.

[jira] Reopened: (MASSEMBLY-320) Website page needs to be updated
to tell us where assembly descriptor goes.

Glen Mazza reopened MASSEMBLY-320:
----------------------------------
Answering my question does not solve the problem for others or fix the problem with the documentation. Updating the web page[1] with the answer that you had just given (or referring them to a link that does provide that answer) does.
To be more specific, in the section "The Assembly Descriptor" on [1] you describe a Maven "assembly" element but do not explain where it goes within the POM, keeping anyone who doesn't know or understand the assembly (i.e., most people reading the docs) clueless about where to place that assembly element. If you don't want to resort to prose, just by giving a sketch of the parent elements of <assembly> in the samples on that page would be enough to give the user a clue of where to insert the element.
If you don't have time to do this, just keep the bug open until you or someone else does.
