Herve Boutemy commented on MARTIFACT-6: --------------------------------------- now that I opened this issue and took time to clearly describe it, generating a buildinfo file in the root directory is not hard: what is harder is to install/deploy it, because root artifact and attached sub-artifacts have already been deployed then it would be easy to generate a buildinfo file *on local disk* that could not be deployed during the buildinfo goal: this could perhaps be a good initial compromise to discover next steps > create buildinfo file in root artifact instead of last module > ------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MARTIFACT-6 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MARTIFACT-6 > Project: Maven Artifact Plugin > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: artifact:buildinfo > Affects Versions: 0.1 > Reporter: Herve Boutemy > Priority: Major > > when used with multi-modules build, current implementation creates the > buildinfo file in the last module (that will be deployed to repository, more > precisely) > This is because buildinfo records fingerprints/hashes of the result of the > build, then artifacts to be fingerprinted are available only at the end of > the build > It works, but it adds a level of complexity to find the buildinfo file > It would be a lot easier to use if buildinfo could be generated (and > eventually deployed) in root directory -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.4#803005)
