Assembly plugin and multiple dependency sets

[Edmondo Porcu <Ed...@gottexbrokers.com>]

Dear All,
I would need better help in understanding how the Maven Assembly plugin works. I am using a third-party application server which automatically generates an assembly.xml and I am having a problem:

I have a multi-module maven project and if I add one maven dependency in a specific module (called common) this is correctly bundled, if I put in the other module this is not bundled and produces a ClassNotFoundException when deploying on the app server. This is how my assembly.xml looks like.

<assembly>
  <id>assemble-pu</id>
  <formats>
    <format>jar</format>
    <format>dir</format>
  </formats>
  <includeBaseDirectory>false</includeBaseDirectory>
  <fileSets>
    <fileSet>
      <directory>target/classes</directory>
      <lineEnding>keep</lineEnding>
      <outputDirectory>/</outputDirectory>
      <includes>
        <include>**/**</include>
      </includes>
    </fileSet>
  </fileSets>
  <dependencySets>
    <dependencySet>
      <useProjectArtifact>false</useProjectArtifact>
      <useTransitiveDependencies>false</useTransitiveDependencies>
      <outputDirectory>lib</outputDirectory>
      <excludes>
        <exclude>Gottware:common</exclude>
      </excludes>
    </dependencySet>
    <dependencySet>
      <useProjectArtifact>false</useProjectArtifact>
      <useTransitiveDependencies>true</useTransitiveDependencies>
      <useTransitiveFiltering>true</useTransitiveFiltering>
      <outputDirectory>lib</outputDirectory>
      <includes>
        <include>Gottware:common</include>
      </includes>
    </dependencySet>
  </dependencySets>
</assembly>


Why are there two dependencySet? Is because there are two format?

How can I make all the dependencies from all the module get included in the resulting jar?
