Description

When a project contains empty groovy src folders the plugin will not look for java source and just assume no source exists. This typically happens in a couple of common scenarios that follow the maven convention of split source trees:

1) groovy is only used for testing purposes thus src/main/groovy does not exist or is empty
2) multi-module projects where not all modules use groovy

This is a really annoying issue. The workaround is to include a Dummy.groovy file in every empty groovy source dir - ie you just cannot have empty source dirs

I tried with this project and cannot reproduce your problem. Does this work for you?

Can you attach a failing project for me to test?

I just uploaded a 2.5.2-SNAPSHOT to http://nexus.codehaus.org/snapshots/. You may want to try that version. Also, with this version, it is no longer necessary to use build-helper-plugin to add extra source folders. These are discovered automatically if they exist.

Doh! Sorry for wasting your time Andrew. This problem was also fixed in the 2.5.1-1 release.
