Eric Haszlakiewicz commented on MASSEMBLY-517: ---------------------------------------------- IMO, if a change like this must be made, at the very least it should result in a big warning for at least the length of a "minor" release (i.e. 2.2 through 2.3) to give people a chance to adjust their builds. > Assembly fails with empty id element now > ---------------------------------------- > > Key: MASSEMBLY-517 > URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MASSEMBLY-517 > Project: Maven 2.x Assembly Plugin > Issue Type: Bug > Affects Versions: 2.2 > Reporter: Eric Haszlakiewicz > Priority: Critical > > There is a serious regression in behaviour between version 2.2-beta-5 and > 2.2. With version 2.2, assembly descriptors that have an empty id element no > longer work. i.e.: > <assembly> > <id></id> > <formats><format>tar.gz</format></formats> > </assembly> > > The error message is: > [INFO] [assembly:single {execution: assemble-tar-gzip}] > [INFO] Reading assembly descriptor: src/main/assembly/assembly.xml > [INFO] > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > [ERROR] BUILD FAILURE > [INFO] > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > [INFO] : org.apache.maven.plugin.assembly.model.assem...@15fddb33 > Assembly is incorrectly configured: > Assembly: is not configured correctly: Assembly ID must be present and > non-empty. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.codehaus.org/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
