I would expect there's a difference between the local pom (buildpom) and the external poms (consumer poms). In case of the latter this tag shouldn't be an issue, however for the local pom it should.
Poms will now probably go through the same validator.

thanks,
Robert

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.
