Well... to answer part of my own question: I noticed that this happens in the 
case that I have two different modules which each use the assembly plugin. 
Somehow the plugin can't resolve both pre-defined assemblies in the modules. 
They're different assemblies which I reference using <descriptorRef>, and as 
soon as I comment out one of the plugin configurations, the whole project 
builds again.

Does this have anything to do with being only able to defined a plugin once in 
a POM and having to define separate executions? How can I solve this?

Any hint, especially from the Assembly developers ;-) is greatly appreciated!

Best regards,
Eric

P.S.
Here are my two POM excerpts:

Betreff: Dependency fails, but only in reactor build

Hi

I'm having problems with a dependency that can't be found, but only in a 
reactor build.

We have a project 'activity' with several modules, one of them being the 
'activity-client', which uses an assembly 'batch' (a ZIP for a batch client).

We have Hudson as CI server and build every project on commit changes: The 
'activity' project builds flawlessly.

[INFO] [jar:jar {execution: default-jar}]
[INFO] Building jar: 
/ige/hudson/work/jobs/activity/workspace/activity-client/target/activity-client-2.2.0-SNAPSHOT.jar
[INFO] [source:jar-no-fork {execution: attach-sources}]
[INFO] Building jar: 
/ige/hudson/work/jobs/activity/workspace/activity-client/target/activity-client-2.2.0-SNAPSHOT-sources.jar
[INFO] [assembly:single {execution: create-batch-distribution}]
...
[INFO] Building zip: 
/ige/hudson/work/jobs/activity/workspace/activity-client/target/activity-client-2.2.0-SNAPSHOT-batch.zip
[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------
[INFO] BUILD SUCCESSFUL
[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------
[INFO] Total time: 30 seconds
[INFO] Finished at: Wed Jun 02 11:35:03 CEST 2010
[INFO] Final Memory: 76M/631M
[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------


However, we also have a nightly build which builds the whole system with all 
projects in one big reactor build.

Here, for some strange reason, the 'batch' assembly can't be found.

[INFO] [jar:jar {execution: default-jar}]
[INFO] Building jar: 
/ige/hudson/work/jobs/esv-projects-tests__development/workspace/activity/activity-client/target/activity-client-2.2.0-SNAPSHOT.jar
[INFO] [assembly:single {execution: create-batch-distribution}]
[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------
[ERROR] BUILD ERROR
[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------
[INFO] Error reading assemblies: Descriptor with ID 'batch' not found

If within the checked out whole system I go to the directory of 
'activity-client' and build it with 'mvn clean package', everything works.

If I do an 'mvn clean package' on the whole system, I get the error above.

So, clearly, the dependency exists in the repository. But sometimes it can't be 
found...

How can that be or how can I check in a better way what's going wrong?

Best regards,
Eric
