Module file (.iml) is generated in a way that sources and javadocs are not
recognized by Intellij Idea
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MIDEA-100
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MIDEA-100
Project: Maven 2.x IDEA Plugin
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 2.1
Environment: WIndows XP, Maven 2.0.7, Java 1.6, IntelliJ IDEA 7.0M1b
Reporter: Gerhard Mueller
Priority: Critical
When a new iml file is generated with mvn idea:idea -DdownloadSources=true
-DdownloadJavadocs=true
the generated .iml-file contains invalid entries for the javadocs and sources,
like in this example:
<orderEntry type="module-library">
<library>
<JAVADOC/>
<SOURCES/>
<CLASSES>
<root url="jar://C:/Dokumente und
Einstellungen/muellerg/.m2/repository/commons-beanutils/commons-beanutils/1.7.0/commons-beanutils-1.7.0.jar!/"
/>
</CLASSES>
<SOURCES>
<root url="jar://C:/Dokumente und
Einstellungen/muellerg/.m2/repository/commons-beanutils/commons-beanutils/1.7.0/commons-beanutils-1.7.0-sources.jar!/"
/>
</SOURCES>
<JAVADOC>
<root url="jar://C:/Dokumente und
Einstellungen/muellerg/.m2/repository/commons-beanutils/commons-beanutils/1.7.0/commons-beanutils-1.7.0-javadoc.jar!/"
/>
</JAVADOC>
</library>
</orderEntry>
Removing the empty
<JAVADOC/>
<SOURCES/>
entries allows me to see the sources, but this is not a good solution.
By looking at the source code
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/maven/plugins/trunk/maven-idea-plugin/src/main/java/org/apache/maven/plugin/idea/IdeaModuleMojo.java
the reason might be the method
private Element createOrGetElement( Element lib, String name )
{
Element el = lib.element( "name" );
if ( el == null )
{
el = createElement( lib, name );
}
return el;
}
In my opinion, the method should look like this:
private Element createOrGetElement( Element lib, String name )
{
Element el = lib.element( name ); // CHANGE DONE HERE
if ( el == null )
{
el = createElement( lib, name );
}
return el;
}
as otherwiese ALWAYS new element instances are created, regardless the provided
name to look for,
