All,

I'm trying to write a custom packing plugin that uses the Maven assembly descriptors but I'm running into some issues with my class. Just trying to proof out my concepts, I copied the class DirectoryMojo and changed the package name, added it to my Maven plugin and built the plugin; the plugin compiled with no issues.

I then took a simple app with an assembly descriptor and tried to use my new packing plugin but I'm getting a null exception during the phase where it builds. Can anyone point me to in the right direction?

-- POM configuration in helloWorld app.
<plugin>
<groupId>org.example.plugin</groupId>
<artifactId>custom-packaging-plugin</artifactId>
<version>1.0.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
<configuration>
<descriptors>
<descriptor>${basedir}/src/main/assembly/custom.xml</descriptor>
</descriptors>
</configuration>
</plugin>

-- helloWorld build error
