Description

For multiple-modules projects, Maven follows those execution order rules:
http://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-multiple-modules.html

If no explicit dependencies are declared Maven will follow the order declared in the <modules> element.

Because the 'assembly' module is responsible to aggregate build artifacts from other modules/project it make sense to be run last in the execution chain.

At the moment the 'assembly' stays before modules like 'examples' which makes it impossible to generate DEP package that contains the examples jar.

IMHO the 'assembly' needs to be kept at the bottom of the <modules> list.
