Hi,

I just noticed that the jar plugin uses the property ${jar.forceCreation} as default of the new parameter "forceCreation". I find this choice most unfortunate.

"Forcing creation" is a very general concept: Almost any plugin could use it, including compiler, assembly, war, ear, ejb, javadoc, ... If any such plugin will end using a different property for the same thing, then it will be almost impossible to do a "forced creation" on the whole project. Also note, that it is not required to have this property "per plugin": For example, if I want to rebuild just the jar file, then I can do so by running

    mvn -Djar.forceCreation=true jar:jar
    mvn install

IMO, a much better choice would be "maven.forceCreation", or whatever. Is it too late for that?


Jochen
