Description

If i define a descriptor which uses a not existing folder it will produce a NPE.
Using the following descriptor:

<assembly xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-assembly-plugin/assembly/1.1.0"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-assembly-plugin/assembly/1.1.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/assembly-1.1.0.xsd">

  <id>dist-assembly</id>

  <formats>
      <format>tar.gz</format>
  </formats>

  <fileSets>
    <fileSet>
      <directory>folder</directory>
      <outputDirectory>.</outputDirectory>
    </fileSet>
  </fileSets>
</assembly>

where the folder folder does not exist will produce the failure. If i create the folder with a single file it will not occur.
