NoFileAssignedException exception when generating karaf feature with maven - maven

Question

I have an error in my karaf feature project wher I run my mvn install. Here is the pom.xml:
<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/maven-v4_0_0.xsd">

<groupId>com.dmasoft.karaf.example.feature</groupId>
<artifactId>dmasoft-feature</artifactId>
<version>0.0.1-SNAPSHOT</version>

<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.karaf.tooling</groupId>
<artifactId>karaf-maven-plugin</artifactId>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
When I run my mvn clean install I get this error:
[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-install-plugin:3.0.0-M1:install (default-install) on project dmasoft-feature: NoFileAssignedException: The packaging plugin for this project did not assign a main file to the project but it has attachments. Change packaging to 'pom'. -> [Help 1]

Answer 1

The maven-install-plugin:3.0.0-M1 was released as of 01/10/2018
Since, I got the same error with flexmojos projects where packaging was set to .
Solution is to set the version for the maven-install-plugin to the previous version (2.5.2) explicitly so it won't resolve the version automatically.
Note: I had to do this for the maven-deploy-plugin too. There may be others.
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-install-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.5.2</version>
</plugin>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-deploy-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.8.2</version>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>

Now you can change mule.tools.version to 1.7 1.7 instead of setting maven plugins version if you are using it.
