vijay commented on MNG-5865: ---------------------------- I have attached the CustomAnnotations project . Please unzip it and install to your local repo. > Maven gives successful Build message and creates empty jar and fails to find > compile time issues. > --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MNG-5865 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-5865 > Project: Maven > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Bootstrap & Build > Affects Versions: 3.2.3 > Environment: apache-maven-3.2.3, jdk1.7.0_67, Eclipse Kepler, WIndows7 > Reporter: vijay > Labels: build, maven > Fix For: waiting-for-feedback > > Attachments: AnnotationConsumer.zip, > CustomAnnotations-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.zip > > > I have created one maven project "AnnotationConsumer" which uses custom > annotation "@COBDate". This custom annotation is present in another maven > project "CustomAnnotations". Now the customannotation jar is empty and does > not contain any annotations. So ideally build of project "AnnotationConsumer" > should have been failed with error message like COBDate not found or > compilation fails. But the thing is that in eclipse Maven Build run it > completes successfully without any error message and creates empty jar file > AnnotationConsumer.jar. > I tried to build project "AnnotationConsumer" from command prompt also with > the same result. > This looks major issue because build creates empty jar but gives successful > build message, creating confusion. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
