--------------------------------
Summary: MavenXpp3Writer writes empty empty property with
self-closing tag?
Key: MNG-7589
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-7589
Project: Maven
Issue Type: Wish
Components: Core
Affects Versions: 3.8.6
Environment: Maven 3.8.6
Reporter: Jeff Thomas
I am using a maven-plugin which manipulates the POM and writes a new POM model.
(similar to 'maven-git-versioning-extension' or 'flatten-maven-plugin').
When writing a POM using the MavenXpp3Writer a property without a value is
written out as follows:
{code:java}
<project>
<properties>
<some.property></some.property>
</properties>
</project>
{code}
Would it be possible to write this out with a self-closing tag? Or provide an
option to the writer to do so?
{code:java}
<project>
<properties>
<some.property/>
</properties>
</project> {code}
Its just eye-candy but the IDE (IntelliJ) displays warnings for empty tags and
I don't want to disable the check globally. :)
Why empty properties?
For some plugins we use empty properties as placeholders which child projects
or sub-modules can override. For example: maven-surefire-plugin `argLine`.
This prevents other IDE errors for missing properties when editing the POM.
