Joseph Walton commented on MPLUGIN-277: --------------------------------------- You're absolutely right; this is invalid. I was running into MPLUGIN-238 and avoided build failure by moving {{helpmojo}} into {{process-classes}}. This avoided the error (as the annotated classes were now present), but I hadn't noticed that it was generating a {{HelpMojo.java}} that was never compiled. The first comment on MNG-5346 suggests {{process-classes}}, as do a number of Stackoverflow answers (http://stackoverflow.com/a/18999968, http://stackoverflow.com/a/23405494) which were presumably copied from there. This works for me: {code} <plugin> <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> <artifactId>maven-plugin-plugin</artifactId> <version>3.3</version> <executions> <execution> <id>help-goal</id> <goals> <goal>helpmojo</goal> </goals> <configuration> <skipErrorNoDescriptorsFound>true</skipErrorNoDescriptorsFound> </configuration> </execution> </executions> </plugin> {code} and I will be able to drop the {{sENDF}} when 3.4 is released. > Default phase for helpmojo should agree with that for descriptor > ---------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MPLUGIN-277 > URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MPLUGIN-277 > Project: Maven Plugin Tools > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Plugin Plugin > Affects Versions: 3.3 > Reporter: Joseph Walton > > Since MPLUGIN-189, {{descriptor}} has a default phase of {{process-classes}}. > Since MNG-5346, that's also the phase of the default execution in the default > lifecycle binding. However, {{helpmojo}} still has a default phase of > {{generate-sources}}, which needs to be overridden when using annotations. > That is, I need to specify: > {noformat} > <execution> > <id>help-goal</id> > <phase>process-classes</phase> > <goals> > <goal>helpmojo</goal> > </goals> > </execution> > {noformat} > Changing the default phase would only save one of those lines, but it would > make things more consistent between the two goals. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.1.6#6162)
