Daniel Spiewak commented on BUILDR-84:
--------------------------------------
You should look for the source directories themselves. Project Layouts define
where each language's source files should go. Assuming the hierarchies are
disjoint (as is the default) it should be possible to just look for the
relevant directory and assume that the corresponding language will be required.
For example, if src/main/java/ is present (empty or otherwise), it may be
assumed in the default layout that the :javac compiler will be required; thus,
Java project metadata should be generated.
> 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.
