Paweł Ryszawa commented on MWAR-314: ------------------------------------ I've found this a problem too. <webXml> content might have come from inherited (parent) pom.xml along with <failOnMissingWebXml> set to some value. Anyway, You may want your a particular project not to fail on missing web.xml. This is not possible with this bug, though. > failOnMissingWebXml ignored when webXml set > ------------------------------------------- > > Key: MWAR-314 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MWAR-314 > Project: Maven WAR Plugin > Issue Type: Bug > Affects Versions: 2.4 > Environment: Windows 7, IBM RAD 9.0 > Reporter: Jakob Galbavy > Assignee: Karl Heinz Marbaise > Priority: Minor > Attachments: pom.xml > > > Hi, > if the webXml attribute is set in the configuration of the plugin (in my case > inherited from a parent pom), the failIOnMissingWebXml boolean is ignored. > To reproduce that: > * import maven project from attached pom OR create new project (simple > archetype), package: war > * use attached pom.xml OR include the plugin in the pom and set webXml to > something and failOnMissingWebXml to false > * mvn clean install > -> failed > ******** > * comment the webXml attribute out > * mvn clean install > -> success > cheers > Jakob > PS: in my understanding of xml, using <webXml /> in the pom should set that > attribute to NULL, but that doesn't work either. Is that another bug or > supposed to be like that? -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
