You should create an issue at http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MASSEMBLY
Hervé/Others: Since the attachement made it through, I took a quick look. The problem is that the modello-generated assembly descriptor has a "boolean" type for this value. Since the assembly descriptor interpolation happens "after" the AssemblyXpp3Reader has done its job, the only solution I can think of is to change the datatype of this field to "string"; which would preserve the original expression long enough for the interpolator to get hold of it. Is there any other way ? (Hmm. I could interpolate the assembly descriptor as an xml string *before* feeding it to AssemblyXpp3Reader, does that make sense ?)
