The Apache Maven team is pleased to announce the release of the [Apache
Maven Assembly Plugin, version 3.3.0](https://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-assembly-plugin/).

The Assembly Plugin for Maven is primarily intended to allow users to aggregate
the project output along with its dependencies, modules, site documentation,
and other files into a single distributable archive.

You can download the appropriate sources etc. from the [download page](https://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-assembly-plugin/download.cgi).

You should specify the version in your project's plugin configuration:

```xml
<plugin>
  <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
  <artifactId>maven-assembly-plugin</artifactId>
  <version>3.3.0</version>
</plugin>
```
