chonton / touch-maven-plugin Goto Github PK

Hi there, I'm having some issues getting this plugin working.

The "Create a file" configuration example gives me this error:
The parameters 'files' for goal org.honton.chas:touch-maven-plugin:0.0.1:touch are missing or invalid

So I changed it to:

    <configuration>
      <modificationTime>${maven.build.timestamp}</modificationTime>
      <files><directory>path/to/create</directory><includes><include>.gitignore</include></includes></files>
    </configuration>

Which gets me further, to the following message:
java.nio.file.NoSuchFileException: path/to/create

Hmmm....... I thought it should create the path? Anyways, let's try to use a path that already exists:

    <configuration>
      <modificationTime>${maven.build.timestamp}</modificationTime>
      <files><directory>${project.build.outputDirectory}</directory><includes><include>.gitignore</include></includes></files>
    </configuration>

Now it's:
Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException
at java.nio.file.Files.provider (Files.java:101)
at java.nio.file.Files.createDirectory (Files.java:690)

Somehow it still wants to create the directory?

I'm at a loss, and I've stopped trying by this point,
Hope you are still interested in your project and wish to shine a light on my troubles!
