It still doesn't work when I include the <plugin></plugin> in my batch's POM
(it can't find the descriptor)
If I include it in my super POM, the error message is :
Failed to create assembly: Error creating assembly archive: You must set at
least one file.
2007/7/18, John Casey <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
I think you might be better off using a dependencySet in your
assembly descriptor, and specifying the plugin configuration from the
sample_batch module, not in the sample_pom level.
The assembly descriptor would probably look something like this:
<assembly>
<id>batch</id>
<formats>
<format>zip</format>
</formats>
<includeBaseDirectory>false</includeBaseDirectory>
<dependencySets>
<dependencySet>
<outputDirectory>lib</outputDirectory>
</dependencySet>
</dependencySets>
<fileSets>
<fileSet>
<directory>src/main/resources</directory>
<outputDirectory>/</outputDirectory>
</fileSet>
</fileSets>
</assembly>
Now, if you put this in the sample_batch POM using something like the
following, you should be able to build the zip archive along with any
normal build:
<project>
[...]
<build>
<plugins>
[...]
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-assembly-plugin</artifactId>
<!-- It's good practice to be very explicit about the plugin
version you want. -->
<version>2.2-beta-1</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>batch-assembly</id>
<phase>package</phase>
<goals>
<goal>single</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<descriptors>
<descriptor>src/assembly/batch.xml</descriptor>
</descriptors>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
</project>
Hope that helps,
