Re: maven-dependency-plugin fails if pom.xml contains a submodule

[Julien CARSIQUE]

Thanks but I did not put the configuration inside the /executions/ tag.
Look at my code extract.
There's a specific outputDirectory value overwritten in the execution 
tags but all needed informations are set in a configuration tag outside 
the execution.

The issue is that this is working fine in these cases :
- mvn package
- mvn dependency:copy -N

This is not working in this case :
- mvn dependency:copy

If I remove the module, everything work fine again.
So, as said in the mail title, it's an issue related to the presence of 
a module in the pom.
Moreover, it seems to fail in the submodule. Is it a maven inheritance 
issue ?
Is there a workaround to neutralize the execution of this plugin in the 
submodule in order no having to add -N when running "mvn dependency:copy" ?

Thanks,
Julien

Subject: maven-dependency-plugin fails if pom.xml contains a submodule

Hi,

Using maven-dependency-plugin, I go a build error since I've add a 
module in the pom.

Principle is to be able to manage two different calls : from execution, 
libraries go in target/lib/ and from a command-line call (or Ant), 
libraries go into ${jboss.lib}.
All worked fine until I added a module. Now, calls from command line 
unless we specify the "-N" option.

The plugin configuration is not inside a pluginManagement tag, so it 
shouldn't be inherited, does it ?

I got this error from the submodule, not from the module containing the 
dependency plugin configuration:
    [ERROR] BUILD ERROR
    [INFO] 
------------------------------------------------------------------------
    [INFO] One or more required plugin parameters are invalid/missing 
for 'dependency:copy'
    [0] Inside the definition for plugin 'maven-dependency-plugin' 
specify the following:
    <configuration>
      ...
      <artifactItems>VALUE</artifactItems>
    </configuration>.

 
- using "-N" on the command line solve the problem
- help:effective-pom result (ran on the failing child) doesn't contain 
any reference to dependency-plugin except this one in the
pluginManagement:
        <plugin>
          <artifactId>maven-dependency-plugin</artifactId>
          <version>2.0</version>
        </plugin>
- call from execution, during an "mvn package" for example succeed.

Here's my configuration :

  <modules>
    <module>aModule</module>
  </modules>

  <build>
    <plugins>
      <plugin>
        <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
        <artifactId>maven-dependency-plugin</artifactId>
        <configuration>
          <outputDirectory>${jboss.lib}</outputDirectory>
          <artifactItems>
            <artifactItem>
              <groupId>aGroupId</groupId>
              <artifactId>anArtifactId</artifactId>
              <version>aVersion</version>
              <overWrite>true</overWrite>
            </artifactItem>
          </artifactItems>
        </configuration>
        <executions>
          <execution>
            <id>copy-installed</id>
            <phase>package</phase>
            <goals>
              <goal>copy</goal>
            </goals>
            <configuration>
              
<outputDirectory>${project.build.directory}/lib</outputDirectory>
            </configuration>
          </execution>
        </executions>
      <plugin>
    </plugins>
  </build>

Thanks,
Julien
