Herve Boutemy updated MNG-2865:
-------------------------------
Description:
After a recent email to Maven Users list, I discovered the new
<mirrorOf>\*</mirrorOf> feature has not been documented *anywhere* official.
It is not in the 2.0.5 changelog, nor in JIRA (that I've found), nor in
settings.xml reference [1], etc. The only place this has been "documented" is
on the Maven Users and Maven Developer email lists, and in various blogs [2]. I
find it very strange that a new feature made it into Maven without a
corresponding JIRA -- so perhaps it might even make sense to retroactively add
it?
This needs to be documented somewhere (probably multiple places) asap.
