Robert Scholte updated MNG-6808:
--------------------------------
Priority: Minor (was: Major)
> Need ability to remove inherited plugin configuration
> -----------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: MNG-6808
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-6808
> Project: Maven
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: POM
> Reporter: Marcin Wisnicki
> Priority: Minor
>
> There are cases where plugin configuration inherited from parent contains
> elements that you want removed rather than overridden.
>
> For example when developing Hippo CMS projects you are required to inherit
> their parent pom which provides among other things a Cargo configuration with
> <zipUrlInstaller>.
> If you would like to provide instead an <artifactInstaller> you need to
> remove <zipUrlInstaller> as they are mutually exclusive and build will fail
> if you don't.
> Unfortunately at the moment your only option is to replace entire
> configuration with {{<configuration combine.self="override">}} and copy a lot
> of configuration.
>
> It would be great if I could remove inherited element instead with something
> like:
> {code:java}
> <zipUrlInstaller combine.self="remove">{code}
