I have a multi module project and I want to make a zip with all sources (and other files). I use maven-assemble-plugin.
I found a way with dependencySet, but I do not want add all my module sources (and later javadoc, too) as dependencies. I tried to use moduleSet, but I get an error:
[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-assembly-plugin:2.6:single (make-zip) on project test-distribution: Failed to create assembly: Error creating assembly archive distribution: A zip file cannot include itself -> [Help 1] org.apache.maven.lifecycle.LifecycleExecutionException: Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-assembly-plugin:2.6:single (make-zip) on project test-distribution: Failed to create assembly: Error creating assembly archive distribution: A zip file cannot include itself My pom.xml:

Is there any way to exclude the current project's build?
