Error creating assembly archive: You must set at least one file.
Probabely because the assembly zip file would be empty.
You put the plugin configuration in your batch POM, and the
descriptor is in src/assembly/batch.xml within the batch
project...and it cannot find the descriptor?
Can you paste the relevant portion of that batch POM, along with the
error stacktrace? You can get the stacktrace using the -e flag on the
maven build (to output errors).
I use this all the time, without problem...so there must be some
miscommunication.
