Yuri commented on MDEPLOY-205:
------------------------------
What about projects that are assemblies of other dependencies? These types of
projects only customize an assembly from another project and they dont have
Java classes: they only produce an assembly.
Before, you could create a jar project and ignore the fact that the project
produces no jar. Now, I am forced to use a pom packaging, but then the assembly
<dependencies> are ignored and I cannot pull in other dependencies.
For now, we have forced version 2.8 of the plugin to make sure it still works.
I guess producing a dummy jar would also work, but is there a proper solution
for this?

>
> According to {{svn blame}} MDEPLOY-78 is responsible for this piece of code:
> {code}
> if ( isPomArtifact )
> {
> deployableArtifacts.add( artifact );
> }
> else
> {
> File file = artifact.getFile();
> if ( file != null && file.isFile() )
> {
> deployableArtifacts.add( artifact );
> }
> else if ( !attachedArtifacts.isEmpty() )
> {
> getLog().info( "No primary artifact to deploy, deploying
> attached artifacts instead." );
> Artifact pomArtifact =
> artifactFactory.createProjectArtifact(
> artifact.getGroupId(), artifact.getArtifactId(),
>
> artifact.getBaseVersion() );
> pomArtifact.setFile( pomFile );
> if ( request.isUpdateReleaseInfo() )
> {
> pomArtifact.setRelease( true );
> }
> deployableArtifacts.add( pomArtifact );
> // propagate the timestamped version to the main artifact
> for the attached artifacts to pick it up
> artifact.setResolvedVersion( pomArtifact.getVersion() );
> }
> else
> {
> String message = "The packaging for this project did not
> assign a file to the build artifact";
> throw new MojoExecutionException( message );
> }
> }
> {code}
> I don't like the {{else if}}-clause. IMHO if there's no main artifact, the
> packaging should simply be 'pom'.
