Steve Wong commented on MNGSITE-431:
------------------------------------
Thanks for the confirmation, there was a slight worry about deprecation.
Perhaps I should have said "undocumented", i.e. with air-quotes instead?
At any rate, I have submitted a PR with the suggested edits:

> pluginManagement in profiles undocumented for maven 3.x
> -------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: MNGSITE-431
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNGSITE-431
> Project: Maven Project Web Site
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Steve Wong
> Priority: Minor
>
> 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, or should this functionality be
> avoided?
