Followup: I can reproduce this error with a very minimal project by using the
maven-arcetype-plugin to create a simple project, and then adding the following
plugin declaration to the POM:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-assembly-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.2</version>
<configuration>
<descriptorRefs>
<descriptorRef>src</descriptorRef>
<descriptorRef>bin</descriptorRef>
</descriptorRefs>
<outputDirectory>${project.build.directory}/site/downloads</outputDirectory>
</configuration>
<executions>
<execution>
<phase>site</phase>
<goals>
<goal>single</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
With this plugin declaration in place, I get the error when I execute either
"mvn assembly:single" or "mvn site".
Can anyone provide any clues?
Thanks
