Hi,
I am migrating a rather large project to maven2 and while doing that I run
into a very strange problem I cannot explain.
The source directory location cannot be changed due to migration issues so I
set the source dir in the pom.xml as follows:
<build>
<sourceDirectory>../../code/basisverzekeringApplicationModuleCode/</sourceDirectory>
</build>
When compiling the sources (mvn clean compile with jdk 1.4.2_08) maven finds
1006 source files and fails to build while in the IDE (eclipse) no problem
exists.
So just for test purposed I manually copied the sources to the default
location (src/main/java) and used:
<build>
<!--
<sourceDirectory>../../code/basisverzekeringApplicationModuleCode/</sourceDirectory>
-->
</build>
To my surprise, maven located 1018 files and compiled successfully!
Can someone explain to me why with the sourcedirectory set maven found 1006
files and with the default, maven located 1018 files.
Obviously its missing some sources files and hence fails to compile but why
it is missing the files? Are there default filters ative when setting
setting the source directory.
I have 'verbosed' the compiler
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<compilerArguments>
<verbose />
</compilerArguments>
<configuration>
<source>1.4</source>
<target>1.4</target>
</configuration>
</configuration>
</plugin>
so see with files maven passes to the compiler and I indeed can see which
files its missing but I have no clue why (no pattern in the filenames of the
missing files).
And to make matters worse, if I use jdk 1.5 the difference is even more
shocking. Maven then only find 894 files instead of the required 1018.
Do anyone have any clue because I am lost here completely.
