Stéphane Nicoll updated MSOURCES-56:
------------------------------------

    Summary: Parameter to skip the generation of the sources jar  (was: Automatic skip of jar generation when no sources found)
    
> Parameter to skip the generation of the sources jar

>                 Key: MSOURCES-56
>                 URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MSOURCES-56
>             Project: Maven 2.x Source Plugin
>          Issue Type: New Feature
>    Affects Versions: 2.0, 2.0.1, 2.0.2, 2.0.3, 2.0.4, 2.1, 2.1.1, 2.1.2
>            Reporter: Dieter König
>            Assignee: Olivier Lamy
>             Fix For: 2.2

>
> Generation of sources-jar should be automatically skipped when no sources were found.
> ###########
> Just in the same way as javadoc-plugin does!
> ###########
> For example if the sources- (default: src/main/java, configured value should be taken into account) and testsources-folder are missing then no sources-jar should be generated. Also if the folders are there but no files in that folders are available the generation should be skipped.
> In other words: don't generate a sources jar which contains only META-INF/MANIFEST.MF with following content:
> Manifest-Version: 1.0
> Archiver-Version: Plexus Archiver
> Created-By: 11.0-b15 (Sun Microsystems Inc.)
> Reason:
> - Generated sources-jar for empty sources is useless
> - Generated sources-jar for empty sources spams the maven repository!
> - Generation of sources-jar "costs" expensive build time
> - explicit skipping of plugin (which is one of the features for 2.2-release) is annoying/would be an expensive work as you have to go through all the pom's...
> If you are aware of old behaviour (someone could need the useless empty jars) then provide the possibility to configure/enable the automatic skip behaviour.
