I have a project expected to deliver a jar file:
<packaging>jar</packaging>
but the jar is built in a custom way, so the default packaging done with jar:jar has been disabled
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-jar-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.3.2</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>default-jar</id>
<phase>none</phase>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
but then when I want to apply shade:shade on the existing jar I get an error
The project main artifact does not exist.
I assume that maven doesn't know about the .jar file created by my custom tool. How to let it know, because antrun attachArtifact doesn't work
<attachartifact file="./bin/classes.jar" classifier="" type="jar"/>
the error I get is
An Ant BuildException has occured: org.apache.maven.artifact.InvalidArtifactRTException: For artifact {:jar}: An attached artifact must have a different ID than its corresponding main artifact.
So this is not the method to register main artifact... Is there any (without writing custom java plugin)?
Thanks, Lukasz
I checked the sources of JarMojo and it gave me an idea how to solve it with Groovy (via gmaven)
<plugin>
<groupId>org.codehaus.gmaven</groupId>
<artifactId>gmaven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>1.3</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>set-main-artifact</id>
<phase>package</phase>
<goals>
<goal>execute</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<source>
project.artifact.setFile(new File("./bin/classes.jar"))
</source>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
and it works!:)
