> Skip creation of sources jar when sources are empty
> ---------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: MSOURCES-150
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MSOURCES-150
> Project: Maven Source Plugin (Moved to GitHub Issues)
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: 3.3.0
> Reporter: Peter De Maeyer
> Priority: Major
>
> The {{maven-jar-plugin}} can be configured with {{skipIfEmpty}} to skip the
> creation of a jar when the main sources are empty. This is useful for example
> when a project only has test sources.
> However, even if the sources are empty, the {{maven-source-plugin}} _always_
> creates a sources jar, even if there is no jar.
> For symmetry reasons, it would therefore be useful if the
> {{maven-source-plugin}} also had an option {{skipIfEmpty}}.
> Also consider the same for test sources. Although it seems that for test
> sources it already works like this by default.
