Stefan Hübner commented on MNG-2027:
------------------------------------

May I add a request on information about how Maven interpolates scm-locations based on scmConnections defined in parent vs. child-pom?

>          Key: MNG-2027
>          URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-2027
>      Project: Maven 2
>         Type: Task

>   Components: Documentation:  General
>     Reporter: John Casey
>      Fix For: documentation

>
> Document in detail how parent POMs are merged with local POM data. In particular:
> * how are lists of things merged
> * how do local POMs override parent data
> * how can one suppress inheritance of a plugin
> * how can one control merge-vs-append in plugin configurations
> * how does the <parent><version/> affect the requirement for a locally specified <version/>
> How does managed information differ??
> Managed info (dependencyManagement, pluginManagement) sets the standard configuration, version, etc for that information. This standard can be used in opt-in fashion by child POMs, BUT WILL ONLY BE APPLIED WHERE IT IS REFERENCED.
> Document the way in which managed info is merged, and how it can be referenced and overridden.
