Question

I have a multimodule maven project like :

Main Module
   Module A
   Module B
   Module C

when i build the Main module it will produce the following:

Main Module
   Module A
       target/A.jar
   Module B
       target/B.jar
   Module C
       target/C.jar

i need an assembly descriptor to zip all child artifacts (A.jar, B.jar, C.jar here) in a file :

My.zip
   - A.jar
   - B.jar
   - C.jar

any idea ?
Thanks in advance.

You could try something like this… Refer to this link for details.

<assembly xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-assembly-plugin/assembly/1.1.2"
    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
    xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-assembly-plugin/assembly/1.1.2 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/assembly-1.1.2.xsd">
  <id>distribution</id>
  <formats>
    <format>zip</format>
  </formats>
  <moduleSets>
    [...]
    <moduleSet>
      <includes>
        <include>${project.groupId}:A</include>
        <include>${project.groupId}:B</include>
        <include>${project.groupId}:C</include>
      </includes>
    </moduleSet>
  </moduleSets>

</assembly>
