Are you sure this works? I am 99% sure I tried this recently and had no luck.
-----Original Message----- From: jallen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, January 05, 2008 11:41 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: buildManagement for reports Due to the way plugins are instantiated you can achieve what you wish doing the following: Define the configurations of your reporting plugins via the standard <pluginsManagement> section of your parent POM (optional). Then bind the reporting plugins to the build lifecycle of the children (i.e. in <build><plugins>). They will not run as they do not have a default phase, being designed to be run by site only. However Maven will instantiate them and will use the parent <pluginManagement> configs while doing so. When site is run Maven will re-use the already instantiated reporting plugins. To control when this build binding should be applied you can either put the plugins in a profile (and thus they only get defined in the parent) or bind them to pre-site, that way they'll only get instantiated when being used in site generation.
