Ok - where do I put the maven-assebly-plugin? is it: a - at the top level pom b - one of the child projects c - in a new project that I create just for assembly d - every sub-project pom
If I put it at the top level I get the error [INFO] Failed to configure plugin parameters for: org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-assembly-plugin:2.1 (found static expression: 'jar-with-dependencies' which may act as a default value). Cause: Cannot assign configuration entry 'descriptorRefs' to 'class [ Ljava.lang.String;' from 'jar-with-depend encies', which is of type class java.lang.String if I put it in the main child project I get a jar - but only classes from that sub-project If I create a separate project with dependecies to all the other sub projects I get a jar with nothing While experimenting I frequently get : [INFO] [assembly:assembly] [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [ERROR] BUILD FAILURE [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [INFO] No assembly descriptors found. Maven has done a wonderful job of making the complex things easy, However in doing this, they seemed to have made the simple things complex. I would just use ant, but our direction is to have all projects with the same basic structure and build methods (which is a good thing) thx for any help On 7/5/06, Henry S.

Post your actual problems with the assembly so that we could help. - Henry --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
