Description

metastore-server uses exec-maven-plugin to generate metastore-site.xml.template with ConfTemplatePrinter.
It expects some arguments.
Because yetus also uses the exec-maven-plugin to determine the order of the modules to be built, but with zero params, the execution fails.

Steps to reproduce the issue:
mvn -q exec:exec -Dexec.executable=pwd -Dexec.args=''
