Description

I was looking for some way to defining my own properties to be used for filtering
files that will be a part of the assembly.

I found it at http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-assembly-plugin/examples/single/filtering-some-distribution-files.html like this:

 
        <configuration>
          <filters>
            <filter>src/assemble/filter.properties</filter>
          </filters>
          <descriptors>
            <descriptor>src/assemble/distribution.xml</descriptor>
          </descriptors>
        </configuration>

It would be nice to encounter that infomration (and maybe more examples) here:
http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-assembly-plugin/plugin-info.html
which would have saved me, and probably other person as well, some time.
