Maarten Mulders commented on MNG-7430: -------------------------------------- I think, to many of our users there's no big difference between build *error* or build {*}failure{*}. I would be fine with (eventually) dropping the difference, _unless_ we could make the difference very clear to end users, with concrete advice on what to do in either situation. > mark MojoExecutionException as deprecated > ----------------------------------------- > > Key: MNG-7430 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-7430 > Project: Maven > Issue Type: Task > Components: Core > Reporter: Olivier Lamy > Priority: Major > > since the start of Maven 3.x there is no more difference in the build > result/output between MojoFailureException and MojoExecutionException. > Even the javadoc is wrong as it says > {quote}Throwing this exception causes a "BUILD ERROR" message to be > displayed.{quote} > > https://github.com/apache/maven/blob/14ca7234380f81e54a5643082816048f3b6b67cf/maven-plugin-api/src/main/java/org/apache/maven/plugin/MojoExecutionException.java#L24 > which definitely never happen see sample here > https://github.com/olamy/maven-exception-plugin > we could mark it as deprecated for 3.9.x onward. > -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.20.1#820001)
