After posting, I kept investigating on my side and the problem seems to be
in the assembly plugin.. not the ear plugin. I have the following section
in my top level pom:
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-assembly-plugin</artifactId>
<inherited>false</inherited>
<configuration>
<ignoreDirFormatExtensions>true</ignoreDirFormatExtensions>
<appendAssemblyId>false</appendAssemblyId>
<finalName>${envType}</finalName>
<descriptors>
<descriptor>src/assemble/OC4JDistribution.xml</descriptor>
</descriptors>
</configuration>
<!--
<executions>
<execution>
<id>Make-OC4JDistribution</id>
<phase>package</phase>
<goals>
<goal>assembly</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
-->
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
With the executions commented out, all builds fine. but when I run mvn
assembly:assembly or uncomment the execution, then I get the previous error
if running maven 3.1, or the following if im running 2.2.1:
