Error reading assemblies: No assembly descriptors found

[Anonymous]

I trying to evaluate OpenIMAJ: using the basic tutorial as reference.
http://www.openimaj.org/tutorial/index.html

Development System:
Windows 8.1
Eclipse Version: 4.3.1.v20130911-1000
Apache Maven 3.2.1

1. Create a new OpenIMAJ project using: mvn -DarchetypeCatalog=http://maven.openimaj.org/archetype-catalog.xml archetype:generate

Choose archetype:
1: http://maven.openimaj.org/archetype-catalog.xml -> org.apache.maven.archetype
s:maven-archetype-quickstart (An archetype which contains a sample Maven project
.)
2: http://maven.openimaj.org/archetype-catalog.xml -> org.hibernate:hibernate-va
lidator-quickstart-archetype (-)
3: http://maven.openimaj.org/archetype-catalog.xml -> org.codehaus.mojo.archetyp
es:netbeans-platform-app-archetype (Archetype for sample application based on Ne
tBeans Platform. Creates parent POM with branding and empty NBM project.)
4: http://maven.openimaj.org/archetype-catalog.xml -> org.openimaj:openimaj-quic
kstart-archetype (Maven quickstart archetype for OpenIMAJ)
5: http://maven.openimaj.org/archetype-catalog.xml -> org.openimaj:openimaj-subp
roject-archetype (Maven archetype for creating OpenIMAJ subprojects with the mos
t of the standard configuration completed automatically)
Choose a number or apply filter (format: [groupId:]artifactId, case sensitive co
ntains): 1:
Choose org.apache.maven.archetypes:maven-archetype-quickstart version:
1: 1.0
2: 1.1
Choose a number: 2:
.....

1. cd into new folder "tutorial1"

2. Assembly

What am I missing?? I'm new to Maven and the available documentation is very limited.

Thanks for for assistance..

You need to choose the "org.openimaj:openimaj-quickstart-archetype (Maven quickstart archetype for OpenIMAJ)" (number 4 in your list), rather than number 1, which is the default maven project archetype.

Thanks Jonathan for the fast response. Changing the quickstart type made the difference. Regards..

Hi Jonathan, wouldn't it better to add this information in the tutorial pdf?

[Jonathon Hare]

The tutorial already specifically says to choose the "openimaj-quickstart-archetype", but I guess we can make that clearer...
