In short: The message is weird, but what it means is that the assembly plugin can’t find the dependency you set in <dependencySets>.

<dependencySets>
    <dependencySet>
        <useProjectArtifact>false</useProjectArtifact>
        <includes>
            <include>com.mycompany:bpds-api</include>
        </includes>
        <outputDirectory>.</outputDirectory>
        <outputFileNameMapping>bpds-fabric8.jar</outputFileNameMapping>
    </dependencySet>
</dependencySets>

You need to add that to project’s dependencies. Check that it’s not test scope.

<dependencies>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>com.mycompany</groupId>
        <artifactId>bpds-api</artifactId>
        <version>${project.version}</version>
    </dependency>
</dependencies>
