Leszek Jadacki commented on MPLUGIN-421: ---------------------------------------- Thanks a lot for prompt answer and redirection to the library repo :) also a hint with -e flag is usefull for the future, I was blindly using -X and counted it will show all usefull info :) regarding suggested workaround - ofc leaving such .java file in the sources would be bad practice and pointless, I just created an issue to support robustness of your plugin as we all try to create "idiot proof" tools and applilcations :) > descriptor goal fails when there is .java file present with content that's > just a comment > ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MPLUGIN-421 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MPLUGIN-421 > Project: Maven Plugin Tools > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Plugin Plugin > Affects Versions: 3.6.4 > Reporter: Leszek Jadacki > Priority: Minor > > Hello, > As I was learning to create own custom plugin, during development process I > decided not to compile one of my Mojo's. For ease I simply commented all its > content. > When trying to build my "custom" plugin _Install_ fails when it executes > _descriptor_ goal. > It seems like when there is a file in the source folder with .java extension > but contains only commented lines the compiler omits the file, but the > descriptor is taking it into account and fails during parsing the file with > error "syntax error @[X,Y]" pointing to it's last line and column. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.20.10#820010)
