Name: Apache Maven Assembly Plugin

Description: A Maven plugin to create archives of your project's sources, classes, dependencies etc. from flexible assembly descriptors.

Plugin coordinates:
Group Id: org.apache.maven.plugins
Artifact Id: maven-assembly-plugin
Version: 3.1.1

Goal Prefix: assembly

The goal help:help gives general information about the assembly plugin and lists its goals:
$ mvn assembly:help $ mvn assembly:help -Ddetail=true -Dgoal=assembly
The goal help:describe gives detailed information about the assembly and lists its goals:
$ mvn help:describe -Dplugin="org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-assembly-plugin" $ mvn help:describe -Dplugin="org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-assembly-plugin" -Ddetail=true -Dgoal=assembly
The assembly plugin has the following goals:

• help: Display help information on maven-assembly-plugin.
  
  
• assembly: Assemble an application bundle or distribution using an assembly descriptor from the command line.
  
  
• single: Assemble an application bundle or distribution from an assembly descriptor.
  
  
• directory: Assemble an application bundle or distribution using an assembly descriptor from the command line. This goal differs from assembly:assembly in that it ignores the <formats/> section of the assembly descriptor, and forces the assembly to be created as a directory in the project's build-output directory (usually ./target).
  
  
• directory-single: Like the assembly:attached goal, assemble an application bundle or distribution from an assembly descriptor. This goal differs from assembly:single in that it ignores the <formats/> section of the assembly descriptor, and forces the assembly to be created as a directory in the project''s build-output directory (usually ./target).
