Correction: The assembly file should have actually said: <outputDirectory>module2/WebRoot/XXX</outputDirectory>
Typing error in the email... Still need help getting this to work. Thanks.

We have a multimodule project, along these lines: proj-parent |- modules |- module1 |- target |- module1-1.0.0-classifiername.jar |- module2 |- WebRoot |- XXX module1's output is two jar files, one the standard output, and the other the extra one defined with includes/excludes using the maven-jar-plugin and a classifier. What I want to do is include this attachment inside the module2 war artifact, under that XXX folder. The WebRoot folder is defined to be the staging area for the war artifact. I have tried to use an assembly to do this, but it has no effect. The modules project defines this in its build plugins: <plugin> <artifactId>maven-assembly-plugin</artifactId> <configuration> <descriptors> <descriptor>src/assemble/classifiername.xml</descriptor> </descriptors> </configuration> </plugin> I put the classifiername.xml under the modules project in the src/assemble folder, and it contains: <assembly xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-assembly-plugin/assembly/1.1.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-assembly-plugin/assembly/1.1.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/assembly-1.1.0.xsd"> <moduleSets> <moduleSet> <includes> <include>*:module1</include> </includes> <binaries> <attachmentClassifier>classifiername</attachmentClassifier> <outputDirectory>module2/WebRoot/lib</outputDirectory> <outputFileNameMapping>foo.jar</outputFileNameMapping> </binaries> </moduleSet> </moduleSets> </assembly> But, when I run mvn clean install, the war file does not contain the file, and the build output never mentions it even tried to follow the instructions, no errors either. How do I get this to work? This artifact is a special jar that gets deployed to clients via the web using Java Web Start, and this is a port of an existing project, so I cannot change the internal folder layout of the war. (Names of the artifacts and projects have been changed to protect the innocent.)
