Hi,
I am quite new to Maven and am having a difficult time understanding some behavior I
am seeing
with respect to plugins. I have been doing some experimentation with the javadoc
plugin to try to
resolve some other issue, but ran across some behavior that I don't understand.
In an attempt to mimic the war:load goal, I placed an empty javadoc:load goal within
the
plugin.jelly file of the javadoc plugin (v1.4). Then, I added javadoc:load to the
prereqs of the
javadoc goal. When I run 'maven javadoc', I can see from the output that the
javadoc:load goal
was attained prior to the javadoc goal, as expected. However, when I attempt to
directly attain
the javadoc:load goal (via 'maven javadoc:load'), I get the following message:
INTERNAL ERROR
Reference made to goal 'javadoc:load' which has no definition.
What am I missing? Why would I get this message when I directly attempt to attain the
javadoc:load goal, but get no complaints when it is attained via a prereq? I am
getting very
confused by Maven's behavior. Any clarification on this type of behavior will be
greatly
appreciated.
Cheers,
Chuck
