I have that book, but it isn't clear to me if the assembly plugin actually builds and installs all the components. The way it reads, it seems like you simply describe where existing files live to be included in the assembly. It doesn't seem to actually build the dependencies. Am I wrong on this?
Thanks.

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.
