I have a parent pom in my company that defines "uber-jars". It was
using the assembly plugin, but I have switched it to use the shade
plugin, so we can combine the spring related files
(META-INF/spring.handlers and META-INF/spring.schemas).
The shade plugin is only used when a profile is active, in this case
"production".
Here is the relevant parts of the pom:
<profiles>
<profile>
<id>production</id>
<activation>
<property>
<name>production</name>
</property>
</activation>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-shade-plugin</artifactId>
<executions>
<execution>
<phase>package</phase>
<goals>
<goal>shade</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<transformers>
<transformer
implementation="org.apache.maven.plugins.shade.resource.AppendingTransformer">
<resource>META-INF/spring.handlers</resource>
</transformer>
<transformer
implementation="org.apache.maven.plugins.shade.resource.AppendingTransformer">
<resource>META-INF/spring.schemas</resource>
</transformer>
</transformers>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
</profile>
</profiles>
Due to other parent pom inclusions, when I go to do a mvn:release on
this pom, the production profile is active. I get the following error
in the output:
INFO] [shade:shade {execution: default}]
[ERROR] The project main artifact does not exist. This could have the following
[ERROR] reasons:
[ERROR] - You have invoked the goal directly from the command line. This is not
[ERROR] supported. Please add the goal to the default lifecycle via an
[ERROR] <execution> element in your POM and use "mvn package" to have it run.
[ERROR] - You have bound the goal to a lifecycle phase before "package". Please
[ERROR] remove this binding from your POM such that the goal will be run in
[ERROR] the proper phase.
[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------
[ERROR] BUILD ERROR
[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------
[INFO] Failed to create shaded artifact.
I understand the need for this error on a pom which produces no
artifact to be shaded. But in this case, this parent pom has its
packaging set to pom, so no jar is created. I don't want to set the
packaging to jar, which goes against what a parent pom should be.
Any help is appreciated. I've done a few searches, and so far turned up nothing.
