[jira] Commented: (MINSTALL-40) install with classifier with no target/classes fails

["jesse crossley (JIRA)" <ji...@codehaus.org>]

    [ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MINSTALL-40?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=182308#action_182308 ] 

jesse crossley commented on MINSTALL-40:
----------------------------------------

This problem still occurs with mvn 2.0.10 and war plugins 2.1-alpha-2 and 2.1-beta-1.
I've employed the work around using an empty /src/main/resources/placeHolder.txt, but that's not a very satisfying solution.  
Is there any fix forthcoming? I see that the duplicate issue <a href="http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MINSTALL-18">MINSTALL-18</a> has been closed, but this version of the issue is ongoing.

>             Project: Maven 2.x Install Plugin
>          Issue Type: Bug
>    Affects Versions: 2.1, 2.2
>         Environment: Maven version: 2.0.5, Winx XP pro
>            Reporter: Michele Lorenzini

> The install plugin fails with the following error:
> Error installing artifact: File C:\TEMP\sample-war\target\classes does not exist
> in a project where there is no class or classpath resource generation (so the target/classes folder is not generated in the compile phase).
> Suppose for example a war application with no java source code (maybe only jar dependencies) and no classpath resource.
> Installing the project as a primary artifact works fine.
> Installing the project as a secondary artifact (so with "classifier" option) with classes or resources works fine.
> Installing the project as a secondary artifact without classes or resources gives the error below.
> Attached is a simple project with packaging WAR composed only by a web.xml file.
> Running "mvn install" on this project should give the error above. Commenting the classifier tag will result in a successful install.
> Also if I put a simple java file (or a resource) the compile goal will create target/classes folder and the install works fine.
> In fact I am using this kind of workaround for the moment (include a dummy resource in the war build).
> The same is with a similar jar project (although it may be less useful to have an "empty" jar artifact).
> Verified with both maven-install-plugin 2.1 and 2.2
