install with classifier with no target/classes fails
----------------------------------------------------
Key: MINSTALL-40
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MINSTALL-40
Project: Maven 2.x Install Plugin
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 2.2, 2.1
Environment: Maven version: 2.0.5, Winx XP pro
Reporter: Michele Lorenzini
Priority: Minor
Attachments: sample-war.zip
The install plugin fails with the following error:
Error installing artifact: File C:\TEMP\sample-war\target\classes does not exist
in a project where there is no class or classpath resource generation (so the
target/classes folder is not generated in the compile phase).
Suppose for example a war application with no java source code (maybe only jar
dependencies) and no classpath resource.
Installing the project as a primary artifact works fine.
Installing the project as a secondary artifact (so with "classifier" option)
with classes or resources works fine.
Installing the project as a secondary artifact without classes or resources
gives the error below.
Attached is a simple project with packaging WAR composed only by a web.xml file.
Running "mvn install" on this project should give the error above. Commenting
the classifier tag will result in a successful install.
Also if I put a simple java file (or a resource) the compile goal will create
target/classes folder and the install works fine.
In fact I am using this kind of workaround for the moment (include a dummy
resource in the war build).
The same is with a similar jar project (although it may be less useful to have
an "empty" jar artifact).
Verified with both maven-install-plugin 2.1 and 2.2
