             Summary: "Pass Compiler Arguments" Documentation is inaccurate
                 Key: MCOMPILER-247
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MCOMPILER-247
             Project: Maven Compiler Plugin
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Ben Romberg
            Priority: Minor


The documentation on http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-compiler-plugin/examples/pass-compiler-arguments.html shows how to pass additional compiler arguments:

{code}
<project>
  [...]
  <build>
    [...]
    <plugins>
      <plugin>
        <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
        <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
        <version>3.3</version>
        <compilerArgs>
            <arg>-verbose</arg>
            <arg>-Xlint:all,-options,-path</arg>
          </compilerArgs>
      </plugin>
    </plugins>
    [...]
  </build>
  [...]
</project>
{code}

It doesn't work, as the {compilerArgs} block needs to be inside the configuration block. Also, the indentation is off by a few spaces. This is how it actually works:

{code}
<project>
  [...]
  <build>
    [...]
    <plugins>
      <plugin>
        <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
        <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
        <version>3.3</version>
        <configuration>
          <compilerArgs>
            <arg>-verbose</arg>
            <arg>-Xlint:all,-options,-path</arg>
          </compilerArgs>
        </configuration>
      </plugin>
    </plugins>
    [...]
  </build>
  [...]
</project>
{code}
