Hi, Thanks for the quick response.
I did that and now I'm getting the following error (see bellow). My descriptor is very simple: <assembly xmlns=" http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-assembly-plugin/assembly/1.1.0"; xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"; xsi:schemaLocation=" http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-assembly-plugin/assembly/1.1.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/assembly-1.1.0.xsd";> <id>bin</id> <formats> <format>dir</format> </formats> <fileSets> <fileSet> <directory>${project.basedir}/folder/</directory> <includes> <include>doc/**</include> </includes> <outputDirectory>/</outputDirectory> </fileSet> </fileSets> The thing is, everything is copied as expected, but I get the following error.
