Maven adding -generic to the name of my jar

Question

I am using Maven 2.2.1 and JDK 1.7.0_51 and I am re-packaging some jar files into a single jar.

I have a problem where the maven-assembly-plugin is adding -generic to the name of my jar that I am creating. The output is xxxxLib-4.2.11-generic.jar, i want it to be xxxxLib-4.2.11.jar

                </execution>
            </executions>
        </plugin> ....

The assembly descriptor is as follows:

<assembly>
    <id>generic</id>
    <formats>
        <format>jar</format>
    </formats>
    <baseDirectory>maven</baseDirectory>
    <includeBaseDirectory>false</includeBaseDirectory>
    <fileSets>
        <fileSet>
            <directory>${project.build.directory}/lib</directory>
            <outputDirectory></outputDirectory>
        </fileSet>
    </fileSets>
</assembly>

I have found a solution to this problem, I have added the code below above the descriptors tag and this has now stopped the generic tag being added to the jar as I want.

    <appendAssemblyId>false</appendAssemblyId>
    <finalName>${project.name}-${project.version}</finalName>
