rpm generation fails

[fvarrui]

rpm package generation fails sometimes. In addition, alien command requires root privileges to convert the deb package to rpm, and also it has to generate deb package first. Try alternative method: rpm-maven-plugin.

Fixed on v0.9.5

I'm still having trouble with this on 0.9.7

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal io.github.fvarrui:javapackager:0.9.7:package (default) on project DebateApp: Unable to execute mojo: The parameters 'sourceEncoding' for goal org.codehaus.mojo:rpm-maven-plugin:2.2.0:rpm are missing or invalid -> [Help 1]

[fvarrui]

Please, try to specify source encoding in your pom.xml:

<properties>
    <project.build.sourceEncoding>UTF-8</project.build.sourceEncoding>
</properties>

[jthoward64]

Nope, same issue. I'm running under Ubuntu 18.04 WSL if that makes a difference, but I haven't had any other issues with Maven so I doubt it would.

[fvarrui]

Ok, I'll try to repoduce your issue. Could you share your plugin configuration and mvn -v output?
Thanks!

I hope you don't mind but I forked your app and adapted a bit your pom.xml.

Testing on Ubuntu 18.04 WSL

When I try to build your app on Ubuntu 18.04 WSL, rpmbuild throws a segmentation fault (return code 139):

Environment:

Why? I don't know.

Testing on Ubuntu 18.04 in a virtual machine:

RPM file is built without problems:

Sorry, but I'm not sure where the problem is! I've not been able to reproduce your issue. I don't know if it's related to JavaPackager, rpm-maven-plugin or rpmbuild.

Use profiles if you only need jrePath property on MacOS:

<!-- Must provide JRE for macOS: -->
<profiles>
	<profile>
		<activation>
			<os>
				<name>mac</name>
			</os>
		</activation>
		<properties>
                        <jrePath>${basedir}/../Libraries/Java/jdk-11.0.7-full.jdk</jrePath>
		</properties>
	</profile>
</profiles>

Well, the RPM thing is annoying but thanks for the tip about profiles!
