maven-assembly-plugin 2.3 and parent pom
Hi
I'm trying to use the assembly plugin to build a product distribution. I include a parent POM declaration in my POM. The parent POM has many dependencies (mixed scope: compile, provided and test)
When I execute make-assembly the resulting distribution does not contain the dependent artifacts defined in my parent POM.
Looking at the 'effective POM' I can see the parent POM dependencies, yet the assembly plugin does not include them in the distribution.
Is this a bug in the assembly-plugin or am I doing something wrong?
assembly.xml:
<assembly
<id>distro</id>
<formats>
<format>dir</format>
</formats>
<includeBaseDirectory>false</includeBaseDirectory>
<fileSets>
<fileSet>
<directory>src/main/resources</directory>
<outputDirectory>/</outputDirectory>
</fileSet>
</fileSets>
<dependencySets>
<dependencySet>
<outputDirectory>/lib</outputDirectory>
</dependencySet>
</dependencySets>
</assembly>
pom.xml:
<snip>
<parent>
<artifactId>my-parent.pom</artifactId>
<groupId>com.name.product</groupId>
<version>5.0.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
</parent>
<snip>
If I explicitly add dependencies to my POM then the assembly plugin correctly adds them to the lib folder of my distribution.
TIA

That's it…thanks for getting me to think about what I'm doing!
The <dependencyManagment>/<dependencies> section and the <dependencies> section are very different things.

I believe that this is the correct behaviour.
The Parent pom has a dependencyManagement section where you can put the
versions of libraries that you want to use but this does not push
dependencies into child POMs.
This is a good thing since we have about 60 POMs that share a parent and
do not want all the dependencies in every jar or war that we make.
We do want the version of any artifact to be the same in all projects.
