Description

I have found a significant change in behaviour between 2.1 and 2.2-beta-1, using the following assembly descriptor:

<assembly>
  <id>dist</id>
  <formats>
    <format>tar.gz</format>
  </formats>
  <includeBaseDirectory>no</includeBaseDirectory>
  <fileSets>
    <fileSet>
      <outputDirectory>/foobar-${version}</outputDirectory>
      <includes>
        <include>README.txt</include>
        <include>changelog.txt</include>
        <include>java.policy</include>
      </includes>
    </fileSet>
    <fileSet>
      <directory>target</directory>
      <outputDirectory>/foobar-${version}/jars</outputDirectory>
      <includes>
        <include>foobar-${version}.jar</include>
      </includes>
    </fileSet>
    <fileSet>
      <directory>src/main/scripts</directory>
      <outputDirectory>/foobar-${version}/bin</outputDirectory>
      <fileMode>0755</fileMode>
    </fileSet>
  </fileSets>
  <dependencySets>
    <dependencySet>
      <outputDirectory>/foobar-${version}/jars</outputDirectory>
      <unpack>false</unpack>
    </dependencySet>
  </dependencySets>
</assembly>

Using 2.1, ${version} interpolates with the version of the project being assembled.

Using 2.2-beta-1, the ${version} in the <dependencySet> interpolates with the version of each individual dependency, leading to the <depenencySet> being scattered across many directories.
