---------------------------------------------------

[~cdomsch] As you are the reporter, you are the one who knows if the test case actually shows the issue you are reporting.

If you would create a simple, artificial testcase showing the problem you see, I will give this a go.

>          Issue Type: Improvement
>    Affects Versions: 3.2.0

> If the assembly fails during processing of its dependencySets/fileSets, it would be very convenient to get the current set/item it is trying to work on while it fails.
> I just lost about a couple days worth of tracking down, why my assembly failed with the message: "Failed to create assembly: Error creating assembly archive base: archive is not a ZIP archive -> [Help 1]"
> Long story short, in our package feed (we are building our software in Azure) one dependency that we used had a corrupt ZIP archive. Since this assembly is the final one we use to build our installers, it contains 50 dependencySets and some files and filesets. Which means, tracking down which of those was causing the issue while one build roughly takes 40mins, is very time consuming.
> In order to improve this, it would be very helpful, if in the event of an error, the plugin would tell you which module/dependency/file it actually failed on.
