Steve Wong updated MNG-7023:
----------------------------
Description:
I was surprised to find that specifying a pluginManagement element in a profile
works, because this is not listed in the maven 3.x documentation page:
[https://maven.apache.org/guides/introduction/introduction-to-profiles.html]
{quote} * a subset of the {{<build>}} element, which consists of:
** {{<defaultGoal>}}
** {{<resources>}}
** {{<testResources>}}
** {{<finalName>}}{quote}
With a bit of googling, I came across the docs for maven2, which does allow it:
[https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/MAVENOLD/Build+Profiles]
{quote}{{build}} _({{pom.xml}})_
* {{plugins}}
* {{pluginManagement}}{quote}
and the 3.6.3 model reference allows it:
[https://maven.apache.org/ref/3.6.3/maven-model/maven.html]
{quote}line 378: <profiles>
line 379: <profile>
line 399: <build>
line 422: <pluginManagement>
{quote}
Is the undocumented behaviour correct, so should this functionality be avoided?
