    Attachment: CSMDirectoryListingOfJars.txt

This is a directory listing of the JARs that are pulled by assembly:assembly for comparison to the manifest which I'm also attaching which is produced by jar:jar for the same project.

>             Fix For: 2.2-beta-2

> Background: Consider the following setup:
> jar-plugin configured with addClasspath=true, writing list of dependency jar file names into manifest of project jar.
> assembly-plugin configured with a dependencySet pulling all dependencies into a single directory.
> Result: application is runnable with with "java -jar mainartifact.jar" 
> There has long been a problem (i.e. with assembly-plugin 2.1) that when deployed snapshot jars were in use, the jar and assembly plugins would disagree in whether the uniqueVersion name was used, and this is MNG-2456. 
> However, assembly-plugin 2.2-beta-1 has introduced further complications to the situation by not using the lifecycle's default set of resolved artifacts, but by running a manual resolution of its own. This has made the two plugins disagree in more scenarios than before, and broke the workaround patch that I posted in MNG-2456. 
> At the root of these problems is some very peculiar handling of the 'file', 'baseVersion' and 'version' fields of Artifact objects, two notable instances of which are the DefaultArtifact.isSnapshot method, which despite being an accessor, actually changes the state of the object, and the DefaultArtifactResolver.resolve method, which contains some rather bizarre manipulation of the 'file' field (more detail may comments in MNG-2456). 
> An interim fix to this issue might involve workarounds in both the jar and assembly plugins to get them to agree. A true fix probably also involves fixing Maven core classes.
