assembly plugin - pass property from pom.xml to assembly descriptor?

[Steve Cohen <sc...@javactivity.org>]

Are properties defined in pom.xml available in the execution of an 
assembly descriptor invoked from pom.xml via the assembly plugin?

If not, is there a way to pass such definitions to the assembly plugin?

I did a quick test, and it works for me. Anything defined in the pom.xml
<properties> gets passed to the assembly descriptor, accessible via the
usual ${foo} syntax.

You can also pass additional filters using the <filters> section of the
assembly configuration:
https://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-assembly-plugin/single-mojo.html#filters

HTH,
Curtis
