New option to avoid empty jar creation
--------------------------------------
Key: MJAR-139
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MJAR-139
Project: Maven 2.x Jar Plugin
Issue Type: Improvement
Affects Versions: 2.3.1
Reporter: Roman Ivanov
Usage of "test-jar" is beneficial for all project, as all of them have tests.
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-jar-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.3.1</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<goals>
<goal>test-jar</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
Pom artifacts and some jar artifacts does not have test and will never have
them.
In logs we have: "[WARNING] JAR will be empty - no content was marked for
inclusion!"
and empty and useless artifacts are created, deployed , ...
It will be convenient to have an plugin option to define whether skip empty jar
creation and warning or generate jar with warning in log. Does it make sense ?
By default option will be FALSE, to comply with previous behavior.
