    Description

      It's currently not possible to specify a descriptor via a property. This means that it's necessary to configure the assembly plugin within the project's POM. This would not normally be a problem, but I'm trying to use the assembly plugin to package up an arbitrary project's artifacts (including all of the run-time dependencies) without editing the project's POM files.

      It would be great if I could do:

      $ mvn org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-assembly-plugin:3.1.1-SNAPSHOT:single -Dassembly.descriptors=/tmp/magic-copying-descriptor.xml

      Stay tuned for a patch!
