[jira] Commented: (MCOMPILER-43) Maven compiler creates ghost classes when invoked with a compilerId of 'eclipse'

    [ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MCOMPILER-43?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#action_88289 ] 

Nicholas Daley commented on MCOMPILER-43:
-----------------------------------------

Same thing happens to me.
I'm running Mac OS X 10.3.  And am using it so that I can compile Java 5 code (as Java 5 isn't available for Mac OS X 10.3).

I've tried running the eclipse compiler directly from the command line (same as the guy above), and all of my files compile (again the same).

But, when I compile through maven only about half of the files compile.

> The maven-compiler-plugin, along with the plexus-eclipse-compiler component, is generating ghost classes (i.e. java source files that compile, but don't generate a .class file).  If I put a deliberate error into the Logger.java file then the compilers, javac and eclipse, both catch it.  However, only javac when invoked through maven will create a .class files for the 2 java files in the example project.  I'm using the following pom definition:

> If you execute "mvn clean compile" then there will only be 1 class file, Foo.class, in the target/classes/com/abc/logging directory.  However if you change the pom's <compilerId> element to be javac then 3 classes are now in the target folder.  This would indicate an eclipse compiler bug, but wait there's more.  The plexus-eclipse-compiler component uses the org.eclipse.jdt.core:core:3.1.0 repo artifact for compiling.  So if you run the batch compiler in the core-3.1.0 jar like
> java -jar <repo path>/org/eclipse/jdt/core/3.1.0/core-3.1.0.jar -verbose -d target/classes src/main/java
> then you will get the following output indicating all 3 classes were created.

> Also if you use the lastest 3.2 eclipse compiler available here, http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/drops/R-3.2-200606291905/download.php?dropFile=ecj.jar, then you still get 3 classes compiled.
> Therefore this indicates a maven bug, but wait there's even more.  The Logger.java file has 2 "// ***" comments in it.  If you comment out the boolean declaration then the eclipse compiler, when invoked through maven, will create the 3 class files.  Howeve if you also comment out the marked method invocation then the we're back to getting only 1 class file generated. WTF!?  Again javac invoked via maven and the eclipse core-3.1.0 compiler always generates 3 class files.  Can someone help the universe make sense again?
