[jira] [Updated] (MNG-7589) MavenXpp3Writer write empty property with self-closing tag?
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-7589?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

-----------------------------
Summary: MavenXpp3Writer write empty property with self-closing tag? (was: MavenXpp3Writer writes empty property with self-closing tag?)
> MavenXpp3Writer write empty property with self-closing tag?
> -----------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: MNG-7589
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-7589
> Project: Maven
> Issue Type: Wish
> Components: Core
> Affects Versions: 3.8.6
> Environment: Maven 3.8.6
> Reporter: Jeff Thomas
> Priority: Trivial
>
> I am using a maven-plugin which manipulates the POM and writes a new POM model. (similar to 'maven-git-versioning-extension' or 'flatten-maven-plugin').
> When writing a POM using the MavenXpp3Writer a property without a value is written out as follows:
>
> {code:java}
> <project>
> <properties>
> <some.property></some.property>
> </properties>
> </project>
> {code}
>
> Would it be possible to write this out with a self-closing tag? Or provide an option to the writer to do so?
>
> {code:java}
> <project>
> <properties>
> <some.property/>
> </properties>
> </project> {code}
> Its just eye-candy but the IDE (IntelliJ) displays warnings for empty tags and I don't want to disable the check globally. :)
>
> Why empty properties?
> For some plugins we use empty properties as placeholders which child projects or sub-modules can override. For example: maven-surefire-plugin `argLine`. This prevents other IDE errors for missing properties when editing the POM.
