[jira] Commented: (MSOURCES-13) No-Forking mojos for use within a POM instead of CLI

["Bob Fields (JIRA)" <ji...@codehaus.org>]

    [ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MSOURCES-13?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=256377#action_256377 ] 

Bob Fields commented on MSOURCES-13:
------------------------------------

Still an issue with plugin version 2.1.2 and maven 2.2.1: If the maven-source-plugin is declared as a <plugin> in a parent pom, generate-sources is executed multiple times in all children, actually causing an infinite loop in our case (MDA code generator project). If declared as <pluginManagement> and referenced in all child projects, it is only executed once. I was using jar-no-fork and test-jar-no-fork. This is an annoyance (we have about a hundred children) but manageable.

> The exiting jar at test-jar mojos will always cause a lifecycle fork and generate-sources.  This can cause all kinds of undesired side effects when using the source plugin with a pom, instead of CLI.  I propose a simple fix (patch attached) to extend these two mojos in no-forking mode.  I can't think of a better name for them.  
> This behaviour is similar to the difference between assembly:assembly and assembly:attached.
