Add the nar-assebmly goal also:
<goal>nar-assembly</goal>
> </goals>

And configure here which version you'd like to access:
<configuration>
<classifiers>
<classifier>x86-Windows-msvc-DUMMY</classifier>
</classifiers>
</configuration>
Note, that the DUMMY part might not be necessary for newer versions of the
plugin. For some reason, we're still using a quite old one.

Some words of warnign though: While the NAR-plugin is a great solution for the
complete native stuff, it is quite not possible to get in contact with anyone
of the devs. The only communication offer the NAR-plugin people are doing is a
forum where no-one answers. So you're completely on your own for any kind of
support and you might better have a look at the native plugin from Maven's Mojo
project.

BTW: The plugin is has another bug, since it will extract the content of the
nar plugin always into the target directory of the project where the build has
been started i.e. it will put the files into the wrong directory for
multi-module builds!
