Hi, I looked into fixing the Hudson build of maven-site-plugin
https://builds.apache.org/job/maven-box/job/maven-site-plugin/job/master/ <https://builds.apache.org/job/maven-box/job/maven-site-plugin/job/master/> There are two "it" failing, one of them is the fullreporting. This fullreporting test seems to run something like mvn -Preporting site [ERROR] ProjectBuildingException for commons-logging:commons-logging:jar:1.1:compile: Some problems were encountered while processing the POMs: ... [ERROR] 'distributionManagement.status' must not be specified. @ line 189, column 13 In fact commons-logging pom includes an <status> tag within <distributionManagement> which seems to be not so valid. And there are a couple of other poms with the same "problem". I do know nothing about the history of this tag and do find a commit in spring-gradle-plugins to work around exactly the same problem https://github.com/spring-gradle-plugins/dependency-management-plugin/commit/a7fec47ea03bf43bdde5707f43743e225ccae319 <https://github.com/spring-gradle-plugins/dependency-management-plugin/commit/a7fec47ea03bf43bdde5707f43743e225ccae319> and a discussion that this tag may be obsolete: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-3178 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-3178> I am asking myself if maven should relax the DefaultModelValidator. At least from the Maven Model https://maven.apache.org/ref/3.6.0/maven-model/maven.html <https://maven.apache.org/ref/3.6.0/maven-model/maven.html> it looks like to be valid. diff --git a/maven-model-builder/src/main/java/org/apache/maven/model/validation/DefaultModelValidator.java b/maven-model-builder/src/main/java/org/apache/maven/model/validation/DefaultModelValidator.java index 1c8477678..b50b0f2e7 100644 --- a/maven-model-builder/src/main/java/org/apache/maven/model/validation/DefaultModelValidator.java +++ b/maven-model-builder/src/main/java/org/apache/maven/model/validation/DefaultModelValidator.java @@ -444,12 +444,6 @@ public void validateEffectiveModel( Model m, ModelBuildingRequest request, Model DistributionManagement distMgmt = m.getDistributionManagement(); if ( distMgmt != null ) { - if ( distMgmt.getStatus() != null ) - { - addViolation( problems, Severity.ERROR, Version.V20, "distributionManagement.status", null, - "must not be specified.", distMgmt ); - } - validate20EffectiveRepository( problems, distMgmt.getRepository(), "distributionManagement.repository", request ); validate20EffectiveRepository( problems, distMgmt.getSnapshotRepository(), Greetings Olaf
