elharo opened a new issue, #558:
URL: https://github.com/apache/maven-jar-plugin/issues/558
## Bug
When the content directory does not exist and `forceCreation` is `false`,
`createArchive()` logs a warning "JAR will be empty - no content was marked for
inclusion!" but then proceeds to create an empty JAR file anyway.
## Location
`AbstractJarMojo.java:280-283`:
```java
if (!Files.exists(contentDirectory)) {
if (!forceCreation) {
getLog().warn("JAR will be empty - no content was marked for
inclusion!");
}
} else {
archiver.getArchiver().addDirectory(contentDirectory.toFile(),
getIncludes(), getExcludes());
}
```
## Problem
The warning message says the JAR "will be empty", implying the process will
stop, but execution continues and `archiver.createArchive()` at line 288 still
produces a JAR file. This is misleading — either:
- The method should abort early if there is no content, or
- The warning should say something like "Creating empty JAR — no content was
marked for inclusion" to accurately describe what happens.
