Hi Seb, you got me, we distribute assemblies descriptors as jar, then define a default assembly-plugin configuration in the parent - components that need define their own assemblies, are still free to do it. If you don't see any blocking issue, I could start working on it. Just let me know, have a nice day! Simo
