Hal Deadman commented on MASSEMBLY-556:
---------------------------------------

I am getting this same NPE when I try to create an assembly with a maven repository in it using the assembly plugin's <repositories> tag. I am using Maven 3.0.3 and assembly plugin 2.3. 

Other assemblies (non-repositories) are working. The culprit does appear to be the mirror entry in settings.xml, although I had to use a settings.xml that didn't have a mirror and add a repositories section to my pom.xml: 


{code}
<repositories>
     <repository>
        <id>nexus</id>
        <url>http://XYZ.PDQ/nexus/content/groups/public</url>
        <releases>
           <enabled>true</enabled>
        </releases>
        <snapshots>
          <enabled>false</enabled>
        </snapshots>        
    </repository>
</repositories>
{code}

The assembly descriptor I am using looks like this:
{code}
<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>repository</id>
  <formats>
    <format>zip</format>
  </formats>
  <repositories>
    <repository>
      <scope>runtime</scope>
      <includeMetadata>true</includeMetadata>
      <outputDirectory>maven2</outputDirectory>
    </repository>
  </repositories>
</assembly>
{code}

If settings.xml has a mirror, I get the NPE. If I don't have a mirror I have to add the repositories section to my pom.xml because Maven tries to re-download things that it can't find unless I point the application at our nexus server (rather than relying on a mirror of * to point at our nexus server). I have all the dependencies in my local repo so I am not sure why it is trying to download anything.
