Question

My maven project intentionally only needs src/test/java and src/test/resources. After removing src/main/* folders, the expected w

Answer 1

This is (according to me) the cleanest solution
for projects that don't contain production code but do contain tests:

    
        
            
                org.apache.maven.plugins
                maven-jar-plugin
                
                    true
                
            
            
                org.apache.maven.plugins
                maven-install-plugin
                
                    true
                
            
            
                org.apache.maven.plugins
                maven-deploy-plugin
                
                    true
                
            
        
    

It indicates what you want:

• to skip trying to package "no production code" into a jar
• don't try to install/deploy the non-existing jar

leaving test execution untouched.

Like @John Camerin mentioned it is NOT advised to use pom
unless the ONLY thing your pom should do is gather dependencies.
Otherwise, if you have tests, they would be skipped without warning, which is not what you want.
