Key: MRAR-19 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MRAR-19 Project: Maven 2.x Rar Plugin Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: 2.0 Environment: windows xp professional Reporter: Salvio Sergi Priority: Trivial In documentation (sub) projects it may be very useful to pack the generated site to an archive. I tried using rar and found this bug. Steps to reproduce * create a new (empty) project with the following pom.xml {code} <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <project> <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion> <groupId>sample</groupId> <artifactId>sample</artifactId> <packaging>rar</packaging> <version>0.0.1</version> </project> {code} * running {{noformat}} mvn package I get the following error {noformat} [WARNING] Connector deployment descriptor: C:\projects\sample\target\sample-0.0.1\META-INF\ra.xml does not exist. [INFO] Could not find manifest file: C:\projects\sample\src\main\rar\META-INF\MANIFEST.MF - Generating one [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [ERROR] BUILD ERROR [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [INFO] Error assembling RAR Embedded error: C:\projects\sample\target\sample-0.0.1 isn't a directory. {noformat} I would expect this to work similarly to the jar packaging type... *Workaround*: manually create a directory /target/sample-0.0.1 before running mvn package -- 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
