Missing url tag in (parent) pom make it ignore the site inheritence system
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MSITE-180
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MSITE-180
Project: Maven 2.x Site Plugin
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 2.0-beta-5
Reporter: Geoffrey De Smet
IF none of the poms (module or parent) don't have an url tag, like this:
<project ...>
...
<url>...</url>
...
</project>
(It doesn't matter if they have url tags in scm, distribution etc)
THEN site inheritence quitely isn't applied, for example in the parent's
site.xml
<menu name="Blogs" inherit="bottom">
<item name="maven" href="http://www.mavenblogs.org/"/>
</menu>
isn't inherited in the childe module's site.
proposed solutions:
- or fix it :)
- or document this wanted behaviour in the site plugin's documentation at
http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-site-plugin/howto.html
with something like
"Site inheritence only works if you have a url tag in your parent pom."
because this can cost people many hours - it did for me
But once site inheritence works, it's very nice though :)
