Andrew Eisenberg created MNG-5291: ------------------------------------- Summary: Breaking change to plexus compiler api 2.9 Key: MNG-5291 URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-5291 Project: Maven 2 & 3 Issue Type: Bug Components: Plugin API Reporter: Andrew Eisenberg Attachments: groovy-project-with-new-plexus-compiler.zip
The release of the plexus-compiler-api version 2.9 and release of the maven-compiler-plugin 2.5 has broken backwards compatibility. See GRECLIPSE-1441. in 1.8.1: {code} CompilerConfiguration.getCustomCompilerArguments() returns LinkedHashMap {code} in 1.9: {code} CompilerConfiguration.getCustomCompilerArguments() returns Map<String, String> {code} This means that a plugins compiled against one version will not work against the other (java.lang.NoSuchMethodError is thrown). Is this right? Am I missing something or must there be a strict dependency on plexus-compiler-api (and hence the maven-compiler-plugin)? I am attaching a failing maven project. When you run {{mvn clean compile}} on this project, it will fail with this error: {code} ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-compiler-plugin:2.5:compile (default-compile) on project org.codehaus.groovy: Execution default-compile of goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-compiler-plugin:2.5:compile failed: An API incompatibility was encountered while executing org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-compiler-plugin:2.5:compile: java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.codehaus.plexus.compiler.CompilerConfiguration.getCustomCompilerArguments()Ljava/util/LinkedHashMap; {code} If you edit the pom and change the maven-compile-plugin dependency to 2.3.2, the clean compile will succeed. My suspicion is that if you change the signature of {{getCustomCompilerArguments}} to {{public LinkedHashMap<String, String> getCustomCompilerArguments()}}, this will succeed. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
