Update Project... in Eclipse does not work as expected

[alerosmile]

m2e has 2 lifecycle mappings: onConfiguration and onIncremental.

Maven -> Update Project... in Eclipse runs onConfiguration and then onIncremental. During onConfiguration, the provided BuildContext is the EclipseEmptyBuildContext. During this step, no binding files nor catalog files are read or resolved.

RawXJC2Mojo.isUpToDate() returns false because URLs are not resolved due to the missing catalog. Therefore XJC2Mojo.doExecute(Options) is executed, but no files are written during XJC2Mojo.writeCode(Outline). This is ok. But the (empty) episode file is written although it shouldn't.

In the next step (onIncremental), RawXJC2Mojo.isUpToDate() returns true because the episode file is up-to-date and no java files are generated!

As a workaround, I can set <episode>false</episode>. But the plugin should suppress the creation of the episode file if the BuildContext is the EclipseEmptyBuildContext.

Hi @alerosmile

Could you provide MRE please so we can investigate ?

Thanks

Hi @laurentschoelens

Delete the target directory and then run Update Project... inside Eclipse. The episode file is created, the Java files not.

@alerosmile tested against 2.0.10-SNAPSHOT PR #503 -> build is OK now

[laurentschoelens]

@alerosmile another PR to fix this : #504 -> build is OK now and for another configuration (without catalog but only binding) too

[laurentschoelens]

@alerosmile (sorry 😄 ) new PR : #505

Fixed in jaxb-tools-2.x and in main branch (will do backport in v3 too)
