Stephen Evanchik commented on MASSEMBLY-391:
--------------------------------------------
Summary:
maven-assembly-plugin dependencies are only resolved in superpom's
pluginManagement section OR in the declaring POM.
Details:
My issue is that I started with a project structure of:
root -> sub-project -> sub-module
I have created a shared-project-assembly and installed it in the repository.
I configure the assembly plugin like so:
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-assembly-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.2-beta-2</version>
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>my-group</groupId>
<artifactId>shared-project-assembly</artifactId>
<version>0.0.1</version>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
<executions>
..... just like in the FAQ .....
</executions>
</plugin>
If I place that assembly configuration in a leaf project such as:
root -> sub-project -> sub-module-distribution
It only works if I invoke mvn package from sub-module-distribution.
If I invoke it from sub-project I receive the attached error.
However, if I place the plugin configuration in my superpom's pluginManagement
section it works just fine.
If I make a mistake in the dependency section of the assembly configuration,
such as:
<dependency>
<groupId>NOT_THE_RIGHT_GROUP</groupId>
<artifactId>shared-project-assembly</artifactId>
<version>0.0.1</version>
</dependency>
and execute mvn package from sub-project nothing happens, there is no error
indicating that Maven is unable to resolve artifact. If I move in to
sub-module-distribution and execute mvn package I receive the error indicating
that the artifact cannot be resolved.

> Reporter: Stephen Evanchik

> Attachments: test.error

>
> I have a multi-project folders setup like one shown below,
>
> root
> |_ sub-folder1
> |_ sub-folder2
> |_ sub-folder3
> |_ etc
>
> Have a root pom.xml at the root folder level and in that I have defined
> <plugin>
> <artifactId>maven-assembly-plugin</artifactId>
> <configuration>
> <descriptors>
> <descriptor>src/main/assembly/descriptor.xml
> </descriptor>
> </descriptors>
> </configuration>
> </plugin>
>
> Above descriptor works fine only if I have defined a descriptor file on the
> src/main/assembly folder for each sub-folder1, sub-folder2, etc.
> It would be great if maven supports me in defining a common assembly
> descriptor and can be shared by all the sub modules from a common location.
