Hi Neil, I usually add a project for the distribution so that I can decouple the "build logic" from the modules. In the parent I define the assembly plugin and in this distribution module I write the assembly under src/resources/assembly.
Using this approach will avoid weird situation where one module (I assume the persistence) needs to be built before one other (I assume the service) To write my assembly descriptor I've read http://www.sonatype.com/books/maven-book/reference/assemblies.html and I used FileSets and dependencySets.
