John Casey updated MASSEMBLY-278: --------------------------------- Fix Version/s: 2.2-beta-2 > Do not fail on missing descriptors > ---------------------------------- > > Key: MASSEMBLY-278 > URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MASSEMBLY-278 > Project: Maven 2.x Assembly Plugin > Issue Type: Improvement > Affects Versions: 2.2-beta-1 > Reporter: Sejal Patel > Fix For: 2.2-beta-2 > > Attachments: ignore-descriptor.patch > > > Assembly requires too much boilerplate right now to be used in a reactor > based project because of the way it fails out if no descriptors are found. I > suggest adding a boolean parameter (probably ignoreMissingDescriptors) which > can default to false for backwards compatability but when set to true, does > nothing if no descriptors are found. > Then in org.apache.maven.plugin.assembly.io.DefaultAssemblyReader line 131 > add the check for that new parameter so that it only fails out if it was > configured to fail out. Otherwise it just goes about its business of assembly > nothing (which seems like a perfectly reasonable logic as well). > By doing these things, it makes it possible to configure the assembly plugin > 1 time in a parent pom and then not have to configure it in several (in my > case 11 out of 19) different modules again and again. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.codehaus.org/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
