Mark Rekveld updated MJAR-139: ------------------------------ Attachment: MJAR-139.patch I took a look at the code and found a simple way to get this fixed. In the {{AbstractJarMojo}} class, I added a parameter called {{skipIfEmpty}} with a default value of false, this so not the change the behavior if the parameter is not set. If this flag is set to {{true}} and the {{getClassesDirectory()}} method returns a directory that doesn't exist, then the archive creation will be skipped. But if it is set to {{false}} (or default) then the archive will be created even if it is empty. (i) This also applies to the jar goal. Please take a look at the attached patch, no tests included. I have deployed this patch in the 2.3.1-marvelution-1 version of the plugin that is available here: http://repository.marvelution.com/content/repositories/releases/ Cheers, Mark > New option to avoid empty jar creation > -------------------------------------- > > Key: MJAR-139 > URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MJAR-139 > Project: Maven 2.x JAR Plugin > Issue Type: Improvement > Affects Versions: 2.3.1 > Reporter: Roman Ivanov > Attachments: MJAR-139.patch > > > Usage of "test-jar" is beneficial for all project, as all of them have tests. > <plugin> > <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> > <artifactId>maven-jar-plugin</artifactId> > <version>2.3.1</version> > <executions> > <execution> > <goals> > <goal>test-jar</goal> > </goals> > </execution> > </executions> > </plugin> > Pom artifacts and some jar artifacts does not have test and will never have > them. > In logs we have: "[WARNING] JAR will be empty - no content was marked for > inclusion!" > and empty and useless artifacts are created, deployed , ... > It will be convenient to have an plugin option to define whether skip empty > jar creation and warning or generate jar with warning in log.
