Ok it works now... I slightly modified the descriptor and it now does exactly what I wanted.
Thanks a lot ! 2007/7/19, John Casey <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
Looks like it got snagged by the spam filters...trying again with a tgz... -john ' On Jul 19, 2007, at 3:48 PM, John Casey wrote: Hmm, I've put together a test project hierarchy to try and replicate the descriptor-not-found problem, and can't...no matter whether I put the configuration in the <plugin> element or the <execution> element, and no matter whether I call the build from the parent pom or the child (where the assembly is bound)...I'm attaching the test I put together, so you can check it out and maybe tell me what's different. BTW, I checked this with JDK 1.4 and Maven 2.0.7.

Probabely because the assembly zip file would be empty. 2007/7/19, John Casey <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: 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. -john On Jul 18, 2007, at 11:29 AM, Rodolphe Beck wrote: > 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, >> >> --john >> >> On Jul 18, 2007, at 4:48 AM, Rodolphe Beck wrote: >> >> > Hello, >> > >> > I'm trying to manage a bunch of modules with maven.
