maven-assembly-plugin 2.2-SNAPSHOT failure

[spamsucks <sp...@rhoderunner.com>]

I get an error of "Failed to create assembly: Error creating assembly 
archive: You must set at least one file." when I try to generate a binary 
assembly.  The "project" one works fine, but the assembly plugin fails if I 
try to generate a "bin" distro.

I am using the built-in assemblies "project" and "bin" with the 2.2-SNAPSHOT 
of the maven-assembly-plugin


  <plugins>
   <plugin>
    <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
    <artifactId>maven-assembly-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>2.2-SNAPSHOT</version>
    <configuration>
     <descriptorRefs>
      <descriptorRef>project</descriptorRef>
      <descriptorRef>bin</descriptorRef>
     </descriptorRefs>
    </configuration>
   </plugin>
  </plugins>

I am able to use the "bin" assembly in my another maven project, so it's new 
condition with this project that is causing the failure.
>From the debug output below, it states that there are no "No dependency sets 
specified."

This is a multi-module project that is successfully creating jars, war, 
etc..
Appreciate any suggestions on how to proceed.
