[jira] Created: (MNGSITE-121) Error in Example for
sharing-descriptors?
Error in Example for sharing-descriptors?
-----------------------------------------
Key: MNGSITE-121
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNGSITE-121
Project: Maven 2 Project Web Site
Issue Type: Bug
Environment: -
Reporter: Knut Pape
On Page
http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-assembly-plugin/examples/sharing-descriptors.html
It says that the assembly file from a jar on the class-path shoulld be included the following way:
<descriptors>
<descriptor>myassembly.xml</descriptor>
</descriptors>
This didn't work for me. After some fidling (I'm pritty sure that the problem was not a spelling mistake) I came to the following solution: Instead of referencing the assembly by filename I referenced it by it's ID and voila - it worked:
<descriptorRefs>
<descriptorRef>my-assembly-descriptor-id</descriptorRef>
</descriptorRefs>

----------------------------------------------
It's a bit crazy that a change like this went in between a beta release and a final release, and it looks like this isn't the only major change that happened (see the messages on the mailing list about classifier being required). Doing things like this makes any distinction between major/minor/beta/whatever releases kind of pointless. :(

------------------------------------------
I discovered this same issue. After looking at the code of the plugin, it appears to have been an intentional change (and a good one, IMHO). But the documentation indeed needs to be updated.

-------------------------------------------
Jeff,
Where in the docs does it say you should use "/src/main/resources/assembly" ?
I can't find any reference to that.

Jeff Campbell commented on MASSEMBLY-516:
-----------------------------------------
It is also important to note that the descriptor xml file MUST be in /src/main/resources/assemblies (not /src/main/resources/assembly).
It seems that half the maven-assembly-plugin documentation indicates that assembly xml files should go in either:
/src/main/resources/assembly
or
/src/main/resources/assemblies
I wish there was a better defined standard and that the documentation would be consistent. It might be good to add to this fix the ability to look in either of these to paths for the descriptor xml file.

Steve Gilbert commented on MASSEMBLY-516:
-----------------------------------------
Since I just spent many hours trying to get this to work and only found this JIRA issue AFTER I figured it out myself, I thought I should add what I found.
Using the 2.2 version of the plugin, I found that the only way I could get this to work was using the base name of the descriptor file (without the .xml extension).
For example if my descriptor file is foo.xml and the id within it is "bar", I found that this:
{code}
<descriptorRefs>
<descriptorRef>foo</descriptorRef>
</descriptorRefs>
{code}
works, but this does not:
{code}
<descriptorRefs>
<descriptorRef>bar</descriptorRef>
</descriptorRefs>
{code}
