Taylor Born commented on MCOMPILER-359:
---------------------------------------

I have the same issue with dependency type zip.
This zip was built in dependency by maven-assembly-plugin, format zip.
Contains no class files.

Waiting for release 3.8.1.

> If {{<dependencies>}} contains a {{<type>pom</type>}} or {{<type>war</type>}} this call:
>      {{moduleDescriptor = binaryParser.getModuleDescriptor( path );}}
>  throws an {{IOException}}:
>      {{zip END header not found}}
>  because the file is being treated as a jar file.
>  When the call returns to {{CompilerMojo.preparePaths()}} this call returns {{null}}:
>      {{Throwable cause = pathException.getValue().getCause();}}
>  and the next line throws a {{NullPointerException}}:
>      {{while ( cause.getCause() != null )}}
