Rishabh Chandra commented on MCOMPILER-71:
------------------------------------------
I have faced this issue myself. I tried both 2.0 and 2.0.1 and they did not
work.
Then i used the excludes and got the code to compile. As the package-info file
is only for javadoc I just ignored it. This is the only solution i could get to
work.
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<fork>true</fork>
<meminitial>128m</meminitial>
<maxmem>512m</maxmem>
<source>1.5</source>
<target>1.5</target>
<excludes>
<exclude>**/package-info.java</exclude>
</excludes>
</configuration>
</plugin>
> javac compilation error for package-info.java containing package annotation
> ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: MCOMPILER-71
> URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MCOMPILER-71
> Project: Maven 2.x Compiler Plugin
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 2.0.2
> Environment: Windows XP SP2
> JDK 1.5.0_15
> Reporter: Gabriel Forro
> Attachments: compile_error_2.0.2.log
>
>
> The package-info.java files can not be compiled in Maven 2 if the 2.0.2
> maven-compiler-plugin is used. package-info.java files can be compiled by
> earlier versions of the maven-compiler-plugin (I have tried 2.0 and 2.0.1).
> Newer snapshot versions does not work also and it fails in the same error (I
> have tried version 2.1-snapshot).
> This problem can be caused by an unusual behavior of the javac from jdk 1.5.
> This behavior is as follows:
> You can not use '/' file separator during compiling package-info.java (for
> instance "javac sk/forro/package-info.java"). You must use '\' separator (for
> instance "javac sk\forro\package-info.java"). If you use the '/' separator
> you get the the compilation error reported by this bug (package annotations
> should be in file package-info.java). This is javac 'feature' has been
> removed in jdk 6 and in jdk 6 you can use either '/' or '\' - it does not
> matter.
> It looks like the maven-compiler-plugin or one of its components (I mean
> plexus-x artefacts used by maven-compiler-plugin) uses '/' instead of the '\'
> in the MS Windows environment.
> I have attached a log file of an unsuccessful build (generated by mvn install
> -X)
> A possible workaround to solve this problem temporarily:
> The compilation successes if I use either an older version of
> maven-compiler-plugin or jdk 6 or do not use package-info.java files at all.
