Description

**[Andrew Festa](https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/ViewProfile.jspa?name=apfes1)** opened **[MASSEMBLY-831](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MASSEMBLY-831?redirect=false)** and commented

When using containerDescriptorHandlers, there is no way to aggregate multiple file patterns. A single file-aggregator does not allow wildcards in the outputPath, and including a second file-aggregator overrides the first.

Research direction

Start by tracing the containerDescriptorHandlers implementation and the file-aggregator handling in the Maven Assembly Plugin; the issue does not name specific files or tests. The change is complete when multiple file patterns can be aggregated without one file-aggregator overriding another, including the stated outputPath wildcard limitation.
