Description

In my project there's an artifact, which can be resolved by 2 different paths (scopes in brackets)

a) Project->projA(compile)->projB(compile)->myArtifact(runtime)
b) Project->projB(test)->myArtifact(runtime)

The relevant part of the distribution descriptor is the following

<formats>
  <format>zip</format>
</formats>
<dependencySets>
  <dependencySet>
    <outputDirectory>/lib</outputDirectory>
    <useProjectArtifact>true</useProjectArtifact>
    <unpack>false</unpack>
    <scope>runtime</scope>
  </dependencySet>
</dependencySets>

So when I run assembly:assembly I wonder, why myArtifact isn't included in my zip. I now think, that assembly favours the shorter path b) despite the test-scope over the longer but correct path a).

Since test-scope dependencies should have nothing to do with distribution (if not included explicitly) myArtifact should have be included in my zip.
