[MASSEMBLY-835] Assembly Plugin doesn't add the Maven descriptors with the JarArchiver

Description

It is possible to configure the Assembly Plugin with an archiver parameter. However, only the configured manifest would be added to the JAR archive in META-INF/MANIFEST.MF, the other archive configuration are ignored. Notably, the Maven descriptors pom.xml and pom.properties are not added under META-INF/maven, although addMavenDescriptor defaults to true as per the Archiver reference. (Note that explictly setting it to true doesn't create them either.)

A sample project MASSEMBLY-835.zip is attached. Running mvn clean package, the created target/test-1.0-SNAPSHOT-its.jar has the following structure:

├───META-INF
│       MANIFEST.MF
│
└───test-1.0-SNAPSHOT
        assembly.xml
        pom.xml

The expected structure would be:

├───META-INF
│   │   MANIFEST.MF
│   │
│   └───maven
│       └───test
│           └───test
│                   pom.properties
│                   pom.xml
│
└───test-1.0-SNAPSHOT
        assembly.xml
        pom.xml
