java - karaf-assembly 4.0.5 - zip ard tar.gz files are not generated at the end of a successful maven build -

i inexperienced java , maven developer, although have got karaf-assembly builds work couple of years ago using karaf 3.0.1 release.

when attempting generating karaf-assemby 4.0.5 customised product build, zip , tar.gz files not created @ end of maven build. ../target/assembly directory created each time maven build run , completion status "build success".

i suspect this because pom file has error highlighted eclipse ide @ section karaf-maven-plugin directly on line, follows:

plugin execution not covered lifecycle configuration: org.apache.karaf.tooling:karaf-maven-plugin:4.0.5:assembly (execution: default-assembly, phase: process- resources)

i can resolve error in ide on line removing "extensions" line, "project build error: unknown packaging: karaf-assembly" error on "packaging" line.
