Github user joshelser commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/phoenix/pull/352 Normally, what you did should be enough, but Phoenix constructs its tarball a little "odd". `phoenix-assembly/src/build/components/all-common-jars.xml` also needed an update (copy-paste from the other `fileSet` entries in that file, pretty simple. Will push this when I validate my local build is good with that change too.
