Tuomas Kiviaho commented on MNG-5384: ------------------------------------- M2E workspace resolution would benefit from this by being able to pinpoint directly to {{testOutputDirectory}} when an artifact from MavenProject.getArtifacts is of type test-jar. Currently it points to the {{outputDirectory}} because Aether only fixes the location of test-jar artifact retrievable from MavenProject.getAttacheArtifacts. > Declarative artifacts > --------------------- > > Key: MNG-5384 > URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-5384 > Project: Maven 2 & 3 > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: Artifacts and Repositories, POM, Reactor and workspace > Affects Versions: 3.0.4 > Reporter: Tuomas Kiviaho > > Currently there's no way to know what attachments a project is going to have > beforehand. Lack of this feature is currently patched inside Aether where > test-jar for instance has a special treatment prior packaging phase so that > we can get a file pointer to ${project.target.testOutputDirectory}. > Maven 2 had this hack embedded inside of it, but with Maven 3 the project > attachments list doesn't contain test-jar until it is actually added to the > project. I had to patch MBUILDHELPER-41 to be able attach this artifact prior > packaging phase and remove it at prepare-package so that the actual > attachment could be added to the project. > I propose that POM could have a section similar to {{build.finalName}} where > you'd list the attacments that the project is going to introduce. For > backwards compatibility this of course would not be required. Plugins such as > jar, sources and javadoc could kick in automatically when pom contains the > respective declarations (race conditions would arise between > maven-bundle-plugin and jar for instance). -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
