Description

In the attached pom.xml, the plugin org.apache.karaf.tooling:karaf-maven-plugin, version 4.1.2, is used in an attempt to create a feature.xml. However, the build (simply mvn clean install) fails with:
[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-install-plugin:2.5.2:install (default-install) on project karaf-maven-plugin-bug: The packaging for this project did not assign a file to the build artifact

There isn't even a target folder created.

However, if one downgrades the karaf-maven-plugin by running "mvn clean install -Dkaraf.version=4.0.9" the build succeeds and a feature.xml is installed into the local .m2. I've also verified this feature is usable.

Ouput to note when using version 4.0.9:
[INFO] — maven-install-plugin:2.5.2:install (default-install) @ karaf-maven-plugin-bug —
[INFO] No primary artifact to install, installing attached artifacts instead.

Note that this project consist only of a single pom.xml, no additional files.
