Robin Roos commented on MASSEMBLY-658: -------------------------------------- The corresponding issue raised against Webstart Maven Plugin is MWEBSTART-216. If the error is caused by that plugin (which appears to be the case) they will benefit from input from the Assembly plugin team to help identify and resolve the problem. > Assembly fails for multi-module project if webstart-maven-plugin is in use > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MASSEMBLY-658 > URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MASSEMBLY-658 > Project: Maven 2.x Assembly Plugin > Issue Type: Bug > Components: dependencySet > Affects Versions: 2.4 > Environment: Apache Maven 3.0.5 > (r01de14724cdef164cd33c7c8c2fe155faf9602da; 2013-02-19 13:51: > 28+0000) > Maven home: C:\dev\apache-maven-3.0.5\bin\.. > Java version: 1.6.0_45, vendor: Sun Microsystems Inc. > Java home: C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_45\jre > Default locale: en_GB, platform encoding: Cp1252 > OS name: "windows 7", version: "6.1", arch: "amd64", family: "windows" > Reporter: Robin Roos > Attachments: npe-war-assebmbly.zip, output.log > > > The mvn invocation I used is: > mvn clean package > I attach a simple test case of a multi-module project. If the acme-jnlp > module is commented out in the parent POM then the project builds > successfully. If the acme-jnlp module is not commented out, then the assembly > of acme-dist fails because of a NullPointerException. > acme-dist and acme-war to not rely on the artifacts generated by acme-jnlp. > The mere fact that the plugin is executed causes the later module assembly to > fail. > Modules have the following purposes: > acme-parent: parent project which contains the module > acme-jnlp: create JNLP and ZIP files not used by any other modules > acme-war: create a .WAR file > acme-dist: use assembly plugin to create a .ZIP containing the .WAR > acme-deploy: holds dependencies to other modules, but does nothing else -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
