maven-assembly-plugin not working as expected

[Ramon Casha <ra...@megabyte.net>]

I am trying to use the maven-assembly-plugin to generate a modified version of a third-party artifact, by adding it as a dependency. When I build, it generates both jar files but it's not including the third-party artifact. My generated jar files contain nothing but the META-INF directory with the files that Maven generates itself.

My goal ultimately is to jarsign the third party file and install in in the local repository.

Here is my pom.xml:
