Matthew Adams created MCOMPILER-200:
---------------------------------------
Summary: Provide optional boolean parameter <skipMain>
Key: MCOMPILER-200
URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MCOMPILER-200
Project: Maven 2.x Compiler Plugin
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Matthew Adams
This issue relates to MCOMPILER-132; in fact, MCOMPILER-132 might just end up
depending on this issue.
NB: I'm using ajc exclusively as my compiler.
Firstly, I can already instruct maven-compiler-plugin to skip test source
compilation via the "<skip>true</skip>" parameter. I'm just asking it to do
the same for compiling main code, because I don't want it to waste the time
attempting to compile via javac when I know it's going to break. It doesn't
make symmetrical sense that I can skip test source compilation and not main
source compilation. I also acknowledge the argument made in MCOMPILER-132 that
not all projects need compilation and should be able to skip it.
Secondly, I'm not comfortable using "<compilerId>aspectj</compilerId>" along
with plexus-compiler-aspectj because it's woefully out of date (the latest
version, 2.1, depends on aspectj 1.6.0, but the current ajc release is 1.7.1).
Lastly, I don't feel like I have enough control over the ajc compiler using
compilerId aspectj. I prefer to use org.codehaus.mojo:aspectj-maven-plugin,
binding execution id "default-compile" to the compile phase & execution id
"default-testCompile" to testCompile.
