With the includes something is found now. However, with my multi-module project, I put only one assembly descriptor file alongside with the top- pom.xml in D:\projekte\core. During execution of maven on this pom, the submodules are traversed and I get the error: Error locating assembly descriptor file: D:\projekte\core\database\product\assembly-descriptor.xml. It seems the plugin searches the descriptor file not in an absolute path but relative to the sub-module pom files. Do I really have to copy the descriptor file redundantly into every submodule?
