a"ppxml attribute is required" error when making ears with the assembly plugin
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MASSEMBLY-345
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MASSEMBLY-345
Project: Maven 2.x Assembly Plugin
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 2.2-beta-3
Environment: all
Reporter: Petar Tahchiev
So what I am doing is trying to make ears with the assembly plugin. For
instance here is my assembly descriptor:
====================
<assembly>
<id>src</id>
<formats>
<format>ear</format>
</formats>
<fileSets>
<fileSet>
<useDefaultExcludes>false</useDefaultExcludes>
<includes>
<include>**</include>
</includes>
</fileSet>
</fileSets>
</assembly>
====================
But instead, I get the following exception:
[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------
[ERROR] BUILD ERROR
[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------
[INFO] Failed to create assembly: Error creating assembly archive src: appxml
attribute is required
[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------

[INFO] ----------------------
The problem is that the mojo uses the EarArchiver class from the plexusArchiver
component
(http://fisheye.codehaus.org/browse/~raw,r=7140/plexus/plexus-components/trunk/plexus-archiver/src/main/java/org/codehaus/plexus/archiver/ear/EarArchiver.java)
in which method we see:
// If no webxml file is specified, it's an error.
if ( deploymentDescriptor == null && !isInUpdateMode() )
{
throw new ArchiverException( "appxml attribute is required" );
}
It would be great if the assembly plugin provides some way to configure the
descriptor.
Thanks a lot.
