I would be glad to add here , the assebmly plugin config I have and the descriptors used incase there is a need for that.

Thanks

It might depend on the way your assembly is set up. In general Maven 3 is faster with most tasks but the dependency resolution changed to use aether. I would suggest to upgrade to Maven 3.0.3 and the latest version of the assembly plugin first to see if that fixes it.
