Xinrong Meng created MDEP-669:
---------------------------------
Summary: Optimize the documentation of <outputProperty> of
build-classpath-mojo
Key: MDEP-669
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MDEP-669
Project: Maven Dependency Plugin
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: build-classpath
Reporter: Xinrong Meng
The documentation in
[https://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-dependency-plugin/build-classpath-mojo.html#outputProperty]
is relatively confusing.
`A property to set to the content of the classpath string.` would give users
illusions that they can use this parameter to modify the content of the
classpath string, rather than set the content of the classpath string to some
property.
As far as I'm concerned, I wanted to embed classifier information in the
displayed classpath string, and I misunderstood this parameter until I checked
the source code of how it is defined.
All in all, it would be great we could explicitly point it out that this
parameter sets the content of the classpath string to some property.
