------------------------------
Sean,
I created BUILDR-171 for the issue you raised.
> 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.
