I'm trying to get the maven site plugin to do my bidding but have gotten
lost...
Given the following simple POM's
pom.xml:
<project>
<modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
<groupId>ch.pecunifex</groupId>
<artifactId>parent</artifactId>
<version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
<packaging>pom</packaging>
<url>http://localhost/parent</url>
<modules>
<module>child</module>
</modules>
<properties>
<version.site.plugin>3.2</version.site.plugin>
<version.info.plugin>2.6</version.info.plugin>
</properties>
<build>
<pluginManagement>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-site-plugin</artifactId>
<version>${version.site.plugin}</version>
</plugin>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-project-info-reports-plugin</artifactId>
<version>${version.info.plugin}</version>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</pluginManagement>
</build>
<reporting>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-project-info-reports-plugin</artifactId>
<reportSets>
<reportSet>
<reports>
<report>index</report>
<report>summary</report>
<report>project-team</report>
<report>modules</report>
<report>plugins</report>
<report>plugin-management</report>
</reports>
</reportSet>
</reportSets>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</reporting>
</project>
and child/pom.xml:
<project>
<modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
<parent>
<groupId>ch.pecunifex</groupId>
<artifactId>parent</artifactId>
<version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
</parent>
<groupId>ch.pecunifex</groupId>
<artifactId>child</artifactId>
<url>http://localhost/child</url>
<reporting>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-project-info-reports-plugin</artifactId>
<reportSets>
<reportSet>
<reports>
<report>index</report>
</reports>
</reportSet>
</reportSets>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</reporting>
</project>
and the documentation on:
http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-site-plugin/maven-3.html
I get the following when I call "mvn site":
[INFO] Scanning for projects...
[WARNING]
[WARNING] Some problems were encountered while building the effective model for

[WARNING]
[WARNING] For this reason, future Maven versions might no longer support

[WARNING]
while the documentation clearly states that:
When used with Maven 3, a report plugin version can be empty (like build
plugins).
The following order/strategy will be used to find/resolve a version:
- search the same groupId/artifactId in the build.plugins section
- search the same groupId/artifactId in the build.pluginManagement.plugins
section
- resolve with current repositories (can include automatic SNAPSHOT
resolution)
Why do I get the warning? And on the wrong line to boot?
And, worse yet, a little later I get:
...

whereas the documentation clearly states:
Maven 2 and Maven 3 work differently when dealing with inheritance of reports:
given a plugin
providing multiple report goals, in Maven 2, reports configured in child pom
are added to
reports from parent, whereas in Maven 3 reports from child replace reports from
parent.
For example, given a multi module build where the parent POM has the index
report configured
and the child POM has the summary report configured for
maven-project-info-reports-plugin plugin:
with Maven 2, the child site will have both the index and summary reports,
with Maven 3, the child site will have only the summary report.
For more info see MSITE-596
... and just to verify that I'm running the latest and greatest:
$ mvn -version
Apache Maven 3.0.5 (r01de14724cdef164cd33c7c8c2fe155faf9602da; 2013-02-19
14:51:28+0100)
Maven home: /home/xxxxx/.lib/apache-maven-3.0.5
Java version: 1.7.0_17, vendor: Oracle Corporation
Java home: /usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.7.0_17/jre
Default locale: en_US, platform encoding: UTF-8
OS name: "linux", version: "3.2.0-39-generic", arch: "amd64", family: "unix"
So what am I supposed to believe?
Is the documentation that obviously was updated for Maven-3 incorrect?
Is the current behaviour (which seems to be what Maven-2 did) correct?
Can I somehow get the documented behaviour (because that is what I want)?
Cheers,
Wolf
P.S.: The POMs given are simplified versions of the POMs I really have,
so please ignore that the reduced set of reports does not really make
sense. I also have similar problems with other reporting plugins (trying
to suppress reports inherited from a parent that do not make sense in a
few special cases) but the other way round (i.e. adding the same reports
to >90% of the POMs because I can't suppress them in a few places) does
not really appeal to me - after all I was hoping to *reduce* the amount
of scaffolding required to build these applications...
