unpack: FileNotFoundException if '.../target/classes' does not exist

[juherr]

I'm trying to use android-maven-plugin in a test project without main sources and non target/classes directory will be created.

When running unpack, the following error is raised:

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal com.simpligility.maven.plugins:android-maven-plugin:4.6.0:unpack (default-cli) on project jsonschema2pojo-integration-tests: IOException while copying /Users/juherr/Projects/Perso/jsonschema2pojo/jsonschema2pojo-integration-tests/src/main/java into /Users/juherr/Projects/Perso/jsonschema2pojo/jsonschema2pojo-integration-tests/target/android-classes: Source '/Users/juherr/Projects/Perso/jsonschema2pojo/jsonschema2pojo-integration-tests/target/classes' does not exist -> [Help 1]

How did you fix it?
Seems like the .dex or .zip file is missing:

android-maven-plugin/src/main/java/com/simpligility/maven/plugins/android/phase09package/ApkMojo.java

Line 391 in acaf0ee

dexFile = new File( targetDirectory, "classes.zip" );

how is it created?

I didn't and this plugin has not update on the last 3 years.
Gradle is the only way to build Android projects.

thx I switched to Gradle as well.
