Robert Scholte created MNG-6131:
-----------------------------------
Summary: Support pom without coordinate
Key: MNG-6131
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-6131
Project: Maven
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: FDPFC, POM
Reporter: Robert Scholte
In some cases the GAV is only there because Maven expects it, even though these
coordinates will never be used.
The most common case is an aggregator: it will only trigger module without
being part of a multimodule project.
Another case I'm thinking of are test-cases, where you want to show the
behavior of some plugins. This project self will (or should!) never be
installed or deployed.
In general: the GAV is only required when another project will refer to it or
if you want to distribute the project via a M2-repository manager.
