Misleading warning when creating a Maven plugin defining a custom packaging ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MPLUGIN-109 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MPLUGIN-109 Project: Maven 2.x Plugin Tools Issue Type: Bug Components: Plugin Plugin Affects Versions: 2.4.1 Reporter: Ludovic Claude Priority: Minor Attachments: console.log, test-custom-packaging.zip When creating a custom packaging using the 2.4.1 version of the maven-plugin-plugin, I'm getting the following warning message: [INFO] Building foobar-maven-plugin [INFO] task-segment: [install] [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [INFO] [plugin:descriptor] [INFO] Using 2 extractors. [INFO] Applying extractor for language: java [INFO] Extractor for language: java found 0 mojo descriptors. [INFO] Applying extractor for language: bsh [INFO] Extractor for language: bsh found 0 mojo descriptors. [WARNING] [WARNING] [WARNING] ******************************************************* [WARNING] Deprecation Alert: [WARNING] No mojo descriptors were found in this project which has a packaging type of maven-plugin. [WARNING] In future versions of the plugin tools, this will fail the build. [WARNING] If this project is an archetype, change the packaging type from maven-plugin to maven-archetype. [WARNING] ******************************************************** Indeed, my project contains no Mojos, only a plexus components.xml file. Now if you try to enforce a rule that says that a maven-plugin must contain at least one Mojo (see MPLUGIN-106), that's fine, but which packaging am I supposed to use to create a plugin that defines a new packaging (here, the foobar packaging) -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.codehaus.org/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
