Vlad Skarzhevskyy commented on MJAR-139: ---------------------------------------- There are 'skip' Parameter for jar:test-jar goal. Would be nice to have the same for jar:jar goal. And not create main jar at all. Obviously pom <packaging>test-jar</packaging> would make more sense. My usage example is a creation of common tests modules. The tests are executed in different poms configured with different database bindings. > New option to avoid empty jar creation > -------------------------------------- > > Key: MJAR-139 > URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MJAR-139 > Project: Maven 2.x Jar Plugin > Issue Type: Improvement > Affects Versions: 2.3.1 > Reporter: Roman Ivanov > > Usage of "test-jar" is beneficial for all project, as all of them have tests. > <plugin> > <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> > <artifactId>maven-jar-plugin</artifactId> > <version>2.3.1</version> > <executions> > <execution> > <goals> > <goal>test-jar</goal> > </goals> > </execution> > </executions> > </plugin> > Pom artifacts and some jar artifacts does not have test and will never have > them. > In logs we have: "[WARNING] JAR will be empty - no content was marked for > inclusion!" > and empty and useless artifacts are created, deployed , ... > It will be convenient to have an plugin option to define whether skip empty > jar creation and warning or generate jar with warning in log.
