Hi all, TL;DR – why isn’t a flag in the Maven assembly Plugin allowing to skip POMs with packaging “pom” ?
I have a question about using the Maven assembly Plugin. We have a parent POM, called “super-parent”, which is being used as a parent to all of our projects. It includes all of the dependencies & the maven assembly plugin, set to create a tar.gz. One of its children the “runtime-super-parent”, which all of the other projects use as a parent, and it has “pom” as packaging type, as required. Now, even though we don’t need it, the assembly plugin creates a tar.gz to this POM as well, taking a lot of space in our repositories. The logical thing to me was to have a flag allowing us to exclude the pom packaged projects from the plugin, hence the name “pom” packaging. Is there any way to achieve this? I haven’t found one. Thanks in advance, Ben
