Hi, I'm resurrecting this old thread to ask if it's possible to change http://maven.apache.org/pom.html to document the current implementation behavior (7+ years old).
Please see my comment on MNG-3092: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-3092?focusedCommentId=362616&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#comment-362616 Jon Mark Hobson Fri, 06 Jul 2007 06:53:04 -0700 > Hi, > > Whilst attempting to fix MNG-2994, I discovered MNG-3092 that was > contrary to the 2.0 design docs: > > http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-3092 > > Brett, Kenney and myself had a brief discussion on IRC about this: > Kenney says that the behaviour is theoretically correct (which it is), > although I feel it goes against the practical usage described in the > docs.
