I think this is possible. A pom.xml would only have dependencies
declared and no actual sources. So running the assembly will give you
the dependencies. What version of assembly are you using?

Hi,
I did know about this mini-guide.
My problem comes from the fact that I want to be able to rebuild an
assembly:directory even if I don't have the source code.
I'm kind of looking for a way to build my application out of a single
pom.xml given that I have uploaded all necessary artifacts to my
repository.
I guess the assembly doesn't do it as it expect compiled classes in
the target directory.
Also I'm looking for a way to unpack my main artifact, which the
assembly plugin doesn't seem to be able to do.
Could an ant task solve my problem? In particular for a pom, extract
the artifact from the repository as well as it's dependencies and
assemble them in a particular directory?
Thanks in advance,
Pierre

Hi. Have you seen this page:

The WARNING you saw maybe due to the assembly not having anything to put
into the jar. A correct assembly file would have at lease one
<dependencySet> or one <fileSet>
