IDE Meta Generation Should Not Require Sources
----------------------------------------------
Key: BUILDR-84
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BUILDR-84
Project: Buildr
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: IDE
Affects Versions: 1.3.2
Environment: eclipse
Reporter: Daniel Spiewak
The `eclipse` task (and I assume `idea` as well) requires at least one source
file of the relevant type to be found within a source directory. For example,
for project meta generation to succeed, the src/main/java/ directory (and/or
subdirectories) must contain at least one .java file. The same holds for
scala. If these source files are not specified, the task silently fails and
just doesn't generate any project meta.
It seems to me that this would be a fairly common use-case: using Buildr to
setup a project prior to creating any sources and then doing the actual coding
within an IDE. I would propose that the source autodetection be fixed to just
assume that there will be source files within the relevant source dirs if they
exist. At the very least, a warning should be printed regarding the absence of
sources and that this prevents IDE meta gen.
