have you verified that
<include>*:sources</include>
is correct?
According to
http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-assembly-plugin/component.html#class_binaries
"(Many) When <exclude> subelements are present, they define a set of
dependency artifact coordinates to exclude. If none is present, then
<excludes> represents no exclusions. Artifact coordinatess may be
given in simple groupId:artifactId form, or they may be fully
qualified in the form groupId:artifactId:type:version[:classifier].
Additionally, wildcards can be used, as in *:maven-*"
Classifiers are sometimes tricky, I find you need to explicitly list
them as the default is that it is empty.
Try
mygroup:myartifact:*:sources
And fiddle around.
When you work it out, cosnider updating the documentation so your
wisdom can benefit others.
