Tuomas Kiviaho commented on MNG-5384:
-------------------------------------
M2E workspace resolution would benefit from this by being able to pinpoint
directly to {{testOutputDirectory}} when an artifact from
MavenProject.getArtifacts is of type test-jar. Currently it points to the
{{outputDirectory}} because Aether only fixes the location of test-jar artifact
retrievable from MavenProject.getAttacheArtifacts.

> Key: MNG-5384
> URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-5384
> Project: Maven 2 & 3
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Artifacts and Repositories, POM, Reactor and workspace
> Affects Versions: 3.0.4
> Reporter: Tuomas Kiviaho
>
> Currently there's no way to know what attachments a project is going to have
> beforehand. Lack of this feature is currently patched inside Aether where
> test-jar for instance has a special treatment prior packaging phase so that
> we can get a file pointer to ${project.target.testOutputDirectory}.
> Maven 2 had this hack embedded inside of it, but with Maven 3 the project
> attachments list doesn't contain test-jar until it is actually added to the
> project. I had to patch MBUILDHELPER-41 to be able attach this artifact prior
> packaging phase and remove it at prepare-package so that the actual
> attachment could be added to the project.
> I propose that POM could have a section similar to {{build.finalName}} where
> you'd list the attacments that the project is going to introduce. For
> backwards compatibility this of course would not be required. Plugins such as
> jar, sources and javadoc could kick in automatically when pom contains the
> respective declarations (race conditions would arise between
> maven-bundle-plugin and jar for instance).
