Hi, is the pom where the assembly is build also used as the parent pom for the modules? If yes, you've hit a design flaw in maven. Currently, the parent relationship introduces a dependency from child to parent, hence the parent is build first and the artifact of the child doesn't exist yet. Look at your log output, you should see that the parent project is build first.
See this thread [1] for an explanation from a developer. If you need to create the assembly attached to the build lifecycle instead of the proposed solution to just build it manually you need to factor out either the parent-pom features or the assembly building stuff to a separate pom. -Tim [1] http://www.nabble.com/Problem-attaching-assembly-to-multi-module-pom-project-tf4576505s177.html#a13063505n [EMAIL PROTECTED] schrieb: > Hi again, > > (thanks to Stéphane Veyret for my previous question, I moved out the > <phase> and <goals> tags in an <execution> tag and it is triggered now -- > but does not work as expected) > > I know the subject has been brought up multiple times, but reading the > whole summary thread > (http://www.mail-archive.com/users@maven.apache.org/msg53354.html, linking > to http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MASSEMBLY-97), I still can not use > assembly:single in my multi-module project. > > My main pom looks like : > > ... > <build> > <plugins> > > <plugin> > <artifactId>maven-assembly-plugin</artifactId> > <version>2.2-beta-1</version> > <inherited>false</inherited> > <configuration> > <appendAssemblyId>false</appendAssemblyId> > <descriptors> > <descriptor>src/main/assembly/assembly.xml</ > descriptor> > </descriptors> > </configuration> > > <executions> > <execution> > <phase>package</phase> > <goals> > <goal>single</goal> > </goals> > </execution> > </executions> > > </plugin> > > From what I've read, the phase must be bound for the single goal.
