mvn help:describe returns the version that is specified in metadata instead of
the one in the parent pom
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MPH-53
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MPH-53
Project: Maven 2.x Help Plugin
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 2.0.1
Environment: windows xp
tested with mvn 2.0.8 & 2.0.9
Reporter: Rintcius Blok
mvn help:describe returns a different version than mvn help:effective-pom
returns:
> mvn help:describe -Dplugin=surefire
...
[INFO] [help:describe]
[INFO] Plugin: 'org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-surefire-plugin:2.2'
-----------------------------------------------
Group Id: org.apache.maven.plugins
Artifact Id: maven-surefire-plugin
Version: 2.2
Goal Prefix: surefire
However, when I run:
> mvn help:effective-pom
I get
...
<pluginManagement>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.4.3</version>
<configuration>
<testFailureIgnore>true</testFailureIgnore>
<includes>
<include>**/*Test.java</include>
</includes>
<format>html</format>
</configuration>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</pluginManagement>
...
My pom structure is quite simple: just a parent pom.xml with the
pluginmanagement section as above and a child pom using that. I have tested
with both maven 2.0.8 and 2.0.9.
