Hervé Boutemy created MNG-6189:
----------------------------------
Summary: WARN if maven-site-plugin configuration contains
reportPlugins element
Key: MNG-6189
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-6189
Project: Maven
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Inheritance and Interpolation, Sites & Reporting
Affects Versions: 3.5.0-alpha-1
Reporter: Hervé Boutemy
Assignee: Hervé Boutemy
Fix For: 3.5.0-alpha-2
with MNG-4162, a bunch of reporting logic was removed from Maven core.
This was globally successful, but not on one topic: it was expected to remore
pom's {{reporting}} section and replace it with a normal {{reportPlugins}}
parameter in maven-site-plugin.
We later discovered that with this normal parameter, we missed one crucial
feature: report plugins inheritance, which would require a new mechanism
MSITE-484
Then we reverted our instructions in maven-site-plugin documentation MSITE-647:
the new {{reportPlugins}} parameter is just an implementation detail, but
should not be used by end-users, {{reporting}} section remains the way to
configure report plugins MSITE-684
Now adding a warning in Maven core when it detects a {{reportPlugins}}
parameter in a maven-site-plugin is easy to do, will help users come back to
normal {{reporting}} configuration, and will permit future enhancements (we
need to finally completely clean-up the situation we created with this story...)
