I have a maven multi-module project where a module ends in SUCCESS, but the generated jar file is empty, and then the next module fails of course because of missing classes.
The culprit is that the compilation puts nothing into the target folder, even though it says it compiles the 217 classes. No error whatsoever. Maybe the words "Stale source detected" ring some bells? I've explained the case in detail here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/17838714/maven-javac-does-not-compile-classes-to-target-folder Any hint what to try next or an idea for a workaround much appreciated *sigh*
