------------------------------------------
Did {{mvn -X}} not help?
> Detailed error message on assembly failure
> ------------------------------------------
>
> Key: MASSEMBLY-925
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MASSEMBLY-925
> Project: Maven Assembly Plugin
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: 3.2.0
> Reporter: Christian Domsch
> Priority: Major
>
> If the assembly fails during processing of its dependencySets/fileSets, it
> would be very convenient to get the current set/item it is trying to work on
> while it fails.
> I just lost about a couple days worth of tracking down, why my assembly
> failed with the message: "Failed to create assembly: Error creating assembly
> archive base: archive is not a ZIP archive -> [Help 1]"
> Long story short, in our package feed (we are building our software in Azure)
> one dependency that we used had a corrupt ZIP archive. Since this assembly is
> the final one we use to build our installers, it contains 50 dependencySets
> and some files and filesets. Which means, tracking down which of those was
> causing the issue while one build roughly takes 40mins, is very time
> consuming.
> In order to improve this, it would be very helpful, if in the event of an
> error, the plugin would tell you which module/dependency/file it actually
> failed on.
