Hi all, I am trying to create an assembly in a multimodule project that has child-parent and module-submodule relations. I want the assembly to contain the artifact (a jar file) generated by one of the modules, as well as most of its dependencies. I am using the following assembly descriptor:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <assembly xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-assembly-plugin/assembly/1.1.2"; xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"; xsi:schemaLocation=" http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-assembly-plugin/assembly/1.1.2 http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-assembly-plugin/assembly/1.1.2";> <id>clasp</id> <formats> <format>zip</format> </formats> <includeBaseDirectory>false</includeBaseDirectory> <moduleSets> <moduleSet> <useAllReactorProjects>true</useAllReactorProjects> <includes> <include>com.hp.hpl.intueri.clasp.metaphors:xyz-csv2vm</include> </includes> <sources> <fileSets> <fileSet> <outputDirectory>/</outputDirectory> <includes> <include>src/main/resources/xyz_csv2vm_description.json</include> <include>src/main/resources/icon.png</include> </includes> </fileSet> </fileSets> </sources> <binaries> <outputDirectory>/</outputDirectory> <dependencySets> <dependencySet> <outputDirectory>/</outputDirectory> <excludes> <exclude>com.hp.hpl.clasp:clasp-sdk</exclude> <exclude>org.json:json</exclude> </excludes> <useTransitiveDependencies>false</useTransitiveDependencies> </dependencySet> </dependencySets> </binaries> </moduleSet> </moduleSets> </assembly> I am configuring the assembly in the parent POM, and assigning the assembly plugin to the package phase of the module, as explained in the documentation ( http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-assembly-plugin/examples/multimodule/module-binary-inclusion-simple.html). While running the "mvn clear package", I am having the following error: [DEBUG] All known ContainerDescriptorHandler components: [file-aggregator, metaInf-services, plexus, metaInf-spring] [WARNING] The following patterns were never triggered in this artifact inclusion filter: o 'com.hp.hpl.intueri.clasp.metaphors:xyz-csv2vm' [DEBUG] Resolving project dependencies ONLY.

I have tried to create the assembly using <dependencySets>, assign the assembly plugin execution to the xyz-csv2vm module, and create a distribution module as explained in the documentation and some forums, with no sucess. I am doing anything wrong?, why is that my inclusion filter is no recognizing my module? Any help is appreciated, Carlos Alegria
