Creates archives of your project's sources, classes, dependencies etc. from flexible assembly descriptors.

Plugin coordinates:

• Group Id: org.apache.maven.plugins
  
• Artifact Id: maven-assembly-plugin
  

Plugin Prefix: assembly

The assembly plugin has the following goals:

• help: Display help information on maven-assembly-plugin.
  
  
• single: Assemble an application bundle or distribution from an assembly descriptor.
  
  

The goal help gives general information about the assembly plugin and lists its goals.
The parameter detail gives detailed information about the parameters of the goals of the assembly plugin.
$ mvn assembly:help $ mvn assembly:help -Ddetail=true
If you need to use the plugin's coordinates instead of its prefix, you can do that as following:
$ mvn org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-assembly-plugin:3.4.2:help $ mvn org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-assembly-plugin:3.4.2:help -Ddetail=true
You can also use the goal describe of the help plugin to get information about the assembly plugin and lists its goals:
$ mvn help:describe -Dplugin=assembly $ mvn help:describe -Dplugin="org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-assembly-plugin:3.4.2" $ mvn help:describe -Dplugin="org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-assembly-plugin:3.4.2" -Ddetail=true
The parameter goal gives information about a goal of the assembly plugin:
$ mvn assembly:help -Dgoal=single -Ddetail=true $ mvn help:describe -Dplugin=assembly -Dgoal=single -Ddetail=true

Adjust your pom file with the following:
<plugin> <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> <artifactId>maven-assembly-plugin</artifactId> <version>3.4.2</version> <configuration> <appendAssemblyId>false</appendAssemblyId> <descriptors> <descriptor>src/main/assembly/assembly.xml</descriptor> </descriptors> </configuration> <executions> <execution> <id>assembly-single</id> <phase>package</phase> <goals> <goal>single</goal> </goals> </execution> </executions> </plugin>
Create the "assembly.xml" file (src/main/assembly/assembly.xml):
$ mkdir -p src/main/assembly/ $ vi src/main/assembly/assembly.xml <?xml version="1.0"?> <assembly xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/ASSEMBLY/2.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/ASSEMBLY/2.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/assembly-2.0.0.xsd"> <id>assembly-id</id> <includeBaseDirectory>false</includeBaseDirectory> <formats> <format>zip</format> <format>tar.gz</format> </formats> <fileSets> <fileSet> <directory>src/main/resources/</directory> <outputDirectory></outputDirectory> <filtered>true</filtered> <includes> <include>**/*.txt</include> </includes> <fileMode>0755</fileMode> </fileSet> <fileSet> <directory>${project.basedir}/target/classes</directory> <outputDirectory>classes</outputDirectory> <excludes> <exclude>**/*.txt</exclude> </excludes> <fileMode>0755</fileMode> </fileSet> <fileSet> <directory>${project.basedir}/target/test-classes</directory> <outputDirectory>test-classes</outputDirectory> <fileMode>0755</fileMode> </fileSet> </fileSets> <dependencySets> <dependencySet> <outputDirectory>lib</outputDirectory> <unpack>false</unpack> <includes> <include>*:jersey-media-multipart*</include> </includes> <excludes> <exclude>*:rs-api</exclude> <exclude>*:mimepull</exclude> </excludes> <outputFileNameMapping>${artifact.artifactId}-${artifact.baseVersion}.${artifact.extension}</outputFileNameMapping> <useTransitiveFiltering>true</useTransitiveFiltering> </dependencySet> </dependencySets> </assembly>
