Hi all, I am doing my first steps with maven... I have a multi-module setup that involves the creation of jars, wars, pars and an ear with everything inside. I've been told to use a plugin to create the par file [1]. However, when the par is set as a dependency in the pom.xml file to create the ear, a jar (with the same name of the par) is included in the ear instead. I do not know anything about the maven insights so I am not able right now to modify the code in order to see what fails now, although I could do an ant task to rename again the jar file to par inside the ear. But that will be the last solution... I've seen that there is also a maven-par-plugin in the sandbox and I've tried to use it. Then I got this exception: Cannot find lifecycle mapping for packaging: 'par'. I've compared the two plugins and I've seen than the plugin from JIRA contains a components.xml file, so I've copied that file to the sandbox plugin and I've installed it again (yeah, you now, trial and error). The lifecycle seems ok now, but I keep getting this exception
org.apache.maven.lifecycle.LifecycleExecutionException: Error assembling PAR ... at org.codehaus.classworlds.Launcher.main(Launcher.java:375) Caused by: org.apache.maven.plugin.MojoExecutionException: Error assembling PAR at org.apache.maven.plugin.par.ParMojo.execute(ParMojo.java:161) at org.apache.maven.plugin.DefaultPluginManager.executeMojo(DefaultPluginManager.java:399) at org.apache.maven.lifecycle.DefaultLifecycleExecutor.executeGoals(DefaultLifecycleExecutor.java:519) ... 16 more Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException at org.apache.maven.plugin.par.ParMojo.execute(ParMojo.java:151) ... 18 more Any tips will be appreciated, Thanks!
