problem attaching non-archived files with maven-assembly-plugin

[Maring, Steven]

I am trying to deploy plain-text files (specifically, a WSDL and XSD) as
part of a project with pom packaging.  I would like other developers to
be able to directly reference the WSDL as deployed in our local Nexus
repository.   I have no difficulty deploying these with the "zip"
format.  However, the "dir" format always seems to result in something
like:

 

[WARNING] Assembly file:
C:\workspace\webservice-java-example\contract\target\contract-1.0.0-0000
-SNAPSHOT-webservice-java-example-contracts is not a regular file (it
may be a directory). It cannot be attached to the project build for
installation or deployment.

 

If I am interpreting the assembly plugin documentation properly, it
would seem to suggest that this is possible.

 

Here is what I have been doing ...

 

<plugin>

      <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>

      <artifactId>maven-assembly-plugin</artifactId>

      <version>2.2-beta-5</version>

      <configuration>

            <descriptors>

 
<descriptor>src/main/assembly/contracts.xml</descriptor>

            </descriptors>

      </configuration>

      <executions>

            <execution>

                  <phase>package</phase>

                  <goals>

                        <goal>single</goal>

                  </goals>

            </execution>

      </executions>

</plugin>

 

 

<assembly>

      <id>webservice-java-example-contracts</id>

      <formats>

            <format>dir</format>

      </formats>

      <includeBaseDirectory>false</includeBaseDirectory>

      <fileSets>

            <fileSet>

                  <directory>src/main/resources</directory>

                  <includes>

                        <include>example.xsd</include>

                        <include>example.wsdl</include>

                  </includes>

                  <outputDirectory></outputDirectory>

            </fileSet>

      </fileSets>

</assembly>
