             Summary: Installs non-existent file into local repository
                 Key: MNG-5602
                 URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-5602
             Project: Maven 2 & 3
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Plugins and Lifecycle
    Affects Versions: 3.0.4
         Environment: Win7 Pro SP1 64 Bit, JDK 7u51, MVN-INSTALL-PLUGIN 2.3.1
            Reporter: Markus KARG
            Priority: Critical


The Maven Install Plugin 2.3.1 confirms that it successfully installed a file which actually is not existing in neither the SOURCE nor the TARGET location... This is simply confusing people.

Steps to reproduce:
* Provide a non-existent SOURCE file to the build-helper-plugin and run mvn install.

<plugin>
  <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
  <artifactId>build-helper-maven-plugin</artifactId>
  <version>1.8</version>
  <executions>
    <execution>
      <id>attach-exe</id>
      <phase>package</phase>
      <goals>
        <goal>attach-artifact</goal>
      </goals>
      <configuration>
        <artifacts>
          <artifact>
            <file>FOO</file>
            <type>BAR</type>
          </artifact>
        </artifacts>
      </configuration>
    </execution>
  </executions>
</plugin>

The result is an info that the file got actually installed -- which is obviously NOT the case:

[INFO] Installing C:\Users\me\workspace\Bug\FOO to C:\Users\me\.m2\repository\my\group\the-artifact\version-SNAPSHOT\the-artifact-version-SNAPSHOT.BAR
