Good afternoon,
It was my understanding that if I configured the maven-javadoc-plugin in my
pom.xml's <reporting> section, that this configuration would also configure
the plugin for running as part of a build, or when invoked from the command
line. I made this assumption based off the following statement from the Maven
POM reference <http://maven.apache.org/pom.html#Reporting>:
a plugin configuration under the reporting element works as build plugin
> configuration
>
But I am not seeing this; when I run with the -X option, configuration items
that I have set here are not being reflected in the debugging output.
For example, I have done this:
<reporting>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-javadoc-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.8</version>
<configuration>
<author>*false*</author>
<!-- and so on -->
...but my debug output from running mvn -X javadoc:javadoc is (in part):
[DEBUG] Configuring mojo
'org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-javadoc-plugin:2.8:javadoc' with basic
configurator -->
[DEBUG] (f) aggregate = false
[DEBUG] (f) author = true
I am using Maven 3.0.3.
What have I done wrong or misunderstood?
Best,
Laird
