----------------------------------------
Summary: Sources and test sources should have separate artifact
types
Key: MSOURCES-124
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MSOURCES-124
Project: Maven Source Plugin
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 3.2.1
Reporter: Peter De Maeyer
Imagine a project that has main and test sources, resulting in 4 artifacts:
||Artifact||Type||Default classifier||
|Main JAR|"jar"| |
|Test JAR|"test-jar"|"tests"|
|Main sources|"java-source"|"sources"|
|Test sources|"java-source"|"test-sources"|
Both sources and test sources have have type "java-source".
As a result, it is not possible to distinguish the sources from the test
sources based on type alone.
The classifier can be used to make that distinction, but the classifier can be
overridden to be anything while the type is fixed.
To fix this, I suggest to introduce a separate type "java-test-source" for test
sources.
The only drawback of that is backward compatibility and impact on other plugins
which might use hard-coded types.
On the other hand, attaching test sources is not often used, so I don't expect
it to break a lot, and it will be better in the long run.
