Giovanni van der Schelde created MNG-7707: ---------------------------------------------
Summary: ${project.basedir} folder creation when running plugin Key: MNG-7707 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-7707 Project: Maven Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: 4.0.0-alpha-4, 4.0.0-alpha-5 Reporter: Giovanni van der Schelde When running {{mvn archetype:generate}} in a directory without providing a valid {{{}pom.xml{}}}, a directory named {{{}$\{project.basedir{}}}} is created in the folder you execute the command from. I could be wrong but the reason which leads me to believe it to be in maven-core is that when I put a breakpoint at the start of the {{exectute()}} method in the [generate mojo|https://github.com/apache/maven-archetype/blob/master/maven-archetype-plugin/src/main/java/org/apache/maven/archetype/mojos/CreateProjectFromArchetypeMojo.java#L177] the folder is already created. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.20.10#820010)
