Maven plugin project missing groupId in generated pom.xml

Hi,

I am attempting to generate a pom.xml but it is missing a tag. The maven plugin I’ve written has a dependency on the maven-plugin-plugin.

This is my reproducer project.

$ cat build.gradle
 apply plugin: 'maven'
  defaultTasks 'assemble'
  task writeNewPom << {
    file("$buildDir/src/main/resources").mkdirs()
    pom {
        project {
            groupId
'org.jboss.perf.test'
            packaging 'acme-plugin'
            version '1.0'
            name 'Acme Plugin to build a trap to catch a Road Runner.'
            build {
                plugins {
                    plugin {
                        groupId 'org.apache.maven.plugins'
                       artifactId 'maven-plugin-plugin'
                       version '3.1'
                       configuration {
                          skipErrorNoDescriptorsFound 'true'
                       }
                    }
                }
            }
            properties {
               'project.build.sourceEncoding' 'UTF-8'
            }
        }
    }.writeTo("$buildDir/src/main/resources/pom.xml")
}
assemble.dependsOn writeNewPom
$ gradle clean assemble
:clean
:writeNewPom
:assemble

        <configuration>
          <skipErrorNoDescriptorsFound>true</skipErrorNoDescriptorsFound>
        </configuration>
      </plugin>
    </plugins>
  </build>
  <properties>
    <project.build.sourceEncoding>UTF-8</project.build.sourceEncoding>
  </properties>
</project>
$

As you can see, the generated pom.xml is missing this line

<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>

Did I make a mistake when configuring the MavenPom ?

I am using Gradle 1.9, OpenJDK 1.7.0_45, Fedora19.

hmm, this behaviour seems to be by design in the MODELLO project.

http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-4131

Till the feature request in the MODELLO project is complete this isn’t going to work. I’ll add a JIRA to track this and have the version bumped up.
