[MASSEMBLY-614] useTransitiveFiltering implemented contrarily

• Type: Bug

Description

useTransitiveFiltering is implemented wrongly, it filters when set to false and does not filter when set to true.

One of the declared dependencies in the project is this:

<dependency>
  <groupId>com.sun.xml.ws</groupId>
  <artifactId>jaxws-rt</artifactId>
  <version>2.2.6</version>
</dependency>

The assembly descriptor is:

<dependencySet>
  <unpack>false</unpack>
  <useProjectArtifact>false</useProjectArtifact>
  <useTransitiveDependencies>true</useTransitiveDependencies>
  <useTransitiveFiltering>false</useTransitiveFiltering>
  <includes>
    <include>*:jaxws*</include>
  </includes>
</dependencySet>

The result contains only the jar for jaxws-rt, but not its dependencies. Setting useTransitiveFiltering to true, then all dependencies are included. It works quite contrary to the documentation and the implicit property name.
