jaxb episodic compilation with maven

I am trying to execute the maven-jaxb2-plugin-sample-episode-0.7.4 (explained here and with a download available) to try separate schema compilation. Despite it compiles the first schema (A), it fails in the second one (B) because it is not able to resolve the artifact maven-jaxb2-plugin-sample-episode-a-maven:jar:0.7.4.

I execute mvn assembly:assembly from the command line (windows) and this is the error I get:

  Try downloading the file manually from the project website.

  Then, install it using the command:
      mvn install:install-file -DgroupId=org.jvnet.jaxb2.maven2 -DartifactId=mav

  Alternatively, if you host your own repository you can deploy the file there:

      mvn deploy:deploy-file -DgroupId=org.jvnet.jaxb2.maven2 -DartifactId=maven

The example should work as it is so, what am I doing wrong ? In the real scenario I have more than 10 schemas that have to be compiled as different episodes, so I need the proccess to be automatic (i.e no need to execute "mvn something" for each individual artifact)

The module maven-jaxb2-plugin-ample-episode-b-maven depends on maven-jaxb2-plugin-ample-episode-a-maven.

When mvn assembly:assembly is run from the parent folder (which contains the two modules), it builds the jar for maven-jaxb2-plugin-ample-episode-a-maven, but does not install it in your local repository.

When it then tries to build maven-jaxb2-plugin-ample-episode-b-maven, it looks for the dependency (maven-jaxb2-plugin-ample-episode-a-maven) and fails to find it in the local repository. Thus the error.

The question is, why would you want to run mvn assembly:assembly, which is used to create a binary distribution? There are no assembly descriptors in either module.

mvn install works fine and build both the modules successfully.
