I'm building a project using maven assembly plugin. But the process fail with the following error,(Here I pasted the error in jenkins. I checked without jenkins too.)

In my case the prob was with the version of the maven assembly plugin. By default it uses the version 2.2 and it has some issues (up to-today may be they'll fix it in future). Better use 2.1. So customized my code as below. Now its working fine

<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>

<version>2.1</version>
