Hi,
I have great problems to solve a simple requirement with Maven2. I have
a Maven project with several sub-modules. Each submodule has its own
config- and install files. I want to distribute and deploy these files
together with its respective submodule artefact. The assembly-plugin
seems to be appropriate for this task but as I made always the
experience up to now with nearly every Maven functionality, it does not
work as expected and documented and error messages are mysterious.
Furthermore it is very hard to understand the different goals and
parameters of assembly-plugin and from where does it count paths.
I defined the plugin in my parent pom:
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-assembly-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<descriptors>
<descriptor>assembly-descriptor.xml</descriptor>
</descriptors>
<!--
archiveBaseDirectory>${project.basedir}</archiveBaseDirectory-->
</configuration>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>make-assembly</id>
<phase>package</phase>
<goals>
<goal>single</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
I defined the descriptor:
<assembly>
<id>install</id>
<formats>
<format>zip</format>
</formats>
<fileSets>
<fileSet>
<directory>src/main/install</directory>
<outputDirectory></outputDirectory>
</fileSet>
</fileSets>
<files>
<file>
<source>readme.txt</source>
<outputDirectory></outputDirectory>
<file>
</files>
</assembly>
I have modified these two in any possible way, I tried also goal
attached but when I execute mvn install I always get the error: you must
set at least one file.
