--------------------------------
Summary: consider impact of maven-remote-resources-plugin in
plugins not pluginManagement
Key: MPOM-218
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MPOM-218
Project: Maven POMs
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Adrian Cole
While maven-remote-resources-plugin in plugins, it is difficult to work with vs
if it were in pluginManagement. For example, the parent pom can spit out a
distracting empty DEPENDENCIES file, which ends up by default in the source
distribution.
I've noticed multiple projects (ex dubbo, edgent) creating separate
distribution modules which on one hand works around this issue, but on the
other is a source of maintenance.
I'd ask to consider using pluginManagement instead, or possibly having the
ability to not create a DEPENDENCIES file when there are none, which would also
solve the problem. Maybe there's also another way to strip this out with an
assembly, but I've failed to figure this out.
