Karl Heinz Marbaise commented on MJAR-198: ------------------------------------------ So i have [taken your example project|https://github.com/khmarbaise/mjar/tree/master/mjar-198] and have run it...So what i can observe is that maven-jar-plugin is executed two times... {code} [INFO] --- maven-compiler-plugin:3.1:testCompile (default-testCompile) @ 0 --- [INFO] No sources to compile [INFO] [INFO] --- maven-surefire-plugin:2.12.4:test (default-test) @ 0 --- [INFO] No tests to run.

You can identify it at the line with {{default-jar}} in braces. If you simply add a supplemental execution this will result in the second execution {{executable}} of maven-jar-plugin. To configure things like the main class for the manifest correctly you can simply do this like the following without the need to configure a supplemental execution. {code:xml} <build> <plugins> <plugin> <artifactId>maven-jar-plugin</artifactId> <configuration> <archive> <manifest> <mainClass>A</mainClass> </manifest> </archive> </configuration> </plugin> </plugins> </build> {code} > jar:jar without classifier replaces default jar > ----------------------------------------------- > > Key: MJAR-198 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MJAR-198 > Project: Maven JAR Plugin > Issue Type: Bug > Affects Versions: 2.3.1, 2.3.2, 2.4, 2.5, 2.6 > Environment: Windows 8.1 Pro > JDK 1.8 45 > Maven 3.2.5 > Reporter: Elias Elmqvist Wulcan > Priority: Minor > Labels: newbie > Attachments: 0.tar, mvn.install.debug.txt > > > If I add an execution of jar:jar in a project of packaging jar and do not > configure a classifier for the additional jar, the additional jar will be > installed instead of the default jar. > Omitting a classifier in the configuration for the goal jar:jar is documented > to have the effect that the jar will not be attached and this is the behavior > that I want. Instead, the jar is attached and replaces the default jar. > AbstractJarMojo.java:254 checks nullness of classifier to decide whether to > attach or not. JarMojo.java:51 declares a default value the empty string for > classifier. Maybe the combination of these lines cause the bug. > http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/maven/plugins/tags/maven-jar-plugin-2.6/src/main/java/org/apache/maven/plugin/jar/AbstractJarMojo.java?revision=1664111&view=markup > http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/maven/plugins/tags/maven-jar-plugin-2.6/src/main/java/org/apache/maven/plugin/jar/JarMojo.java?revision=1664111&view=markup -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
