Description

Having an assembly descriptor of:

<dependencySet>
  <useProjectArtifact>false</useProjectArtifact>
  <outputDirectory>out/dir</outputDirectory>
  <includes>
    <include>com.example:a-runtime-artifact</include>
  </includes>
  <outputFileNameMapping>${artifact.artifactId}-${artifact.baseVersion}.${artifact.extension}</outputFileNameMapping>
</dependencySet>

and in the pom.xml

 

<dependencies>
  <dependency>
    <groupId>com.example</groupId>
    <artifactId>a-runtime-artifact</artifactId>
    <scope>provided or runtime</scope>
  </dependency>
</dependencies>

yields to:

Execution make-assembly of goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-assembly-plugin:3.1.0:single failed.: NullPointerException)

see appended file stacktrace.txt.

 

I would expect a more meaningful error message at least or even better it would just work .
