The assembly plugin requires a descriptor that describes how to assemble the distribution. There are some builtin ones (descriptorId of bin, src, jar-with-dependencies), or you can create your own and specify it with descriptor.
Examples: http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/maven/components/trunk/maven-core/src/assemble/bin.xml http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/maven/components/trunk/maven-core/pom.xml Sorry for the lack of documentation of this plugin at present. - Brett On 7/19/05, Eric Weiss <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Maven2 > java 1.5x > > I am trying to use the Assembly plugin to build an "uber" jar, or any other > archive type, that contains all of my classes, resources and > dependencies.
