<menu ref="modules"/> dropped from site.xml for pom.xml without <modules>
section
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MSITE-438
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MSITE-438
Project: Maven 2.x Site Plugin
Issue Type: Bug
Components: inheritance, multi module
Affects Versions: 2.0.1
Environment: Windows XP, CentOS Linux, Maven 2.2.1, Sun JDK 1.6.0_u17
Reporter: Kek
Attachments: project.zip
We have common "pom-parent" artifact that defines repositories,
pluginsManagement, distribution, etc. And there is defined the site.xml
descriptor too.
The site.xml lokks like:
<body>
<menu ref="parent"/>
<menu ref="modules"/>
<menu ref="reports"/>
</body>
but when we build this artifact and deploy it to the repository, there is
automaticaly generated and uploaded different site descriptor
"pom-parent-1.0.0-site.xml" that contains only:
<body>
<menu ref="parent" />
<menu ref="reports" />
</body>
The "modules" menu was droped by maven.
After some investigation I found that the "modules" menu section is always
dropped, when the pom.xml for pom-parent does not contains any submodule
definition
<modules>
<module>some-submodule</module>
</modules>
But I don't want to specify any submodule for this common pom because it is
used as "abstract" parent for all company projects. We want to have only one
central site.xml descriptor definition managed in "pom-parent" project and
avoid its duplication in each inherited project.
The workaround is create some "dummy-submodule" under "pom-parent" and define
the <modules> section in pom.xml or define the site.xml descriptor for each
inherited project.
