[jira] [Updated] (MNG-7408) explain reporting plugin version automatic selection

["Herve Boutemy (Jira)" <ji...@apache.org>]

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-7408?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Herve Boutemy updated MNG-7408:
-------------------------------
    Description: 
reporting plugin version looks like normal version = you need to define a version for build stability https://maven.apache.org/ref/3.8.4/maven-model/maven.html#class_reporting

and in the past, it did not even benefit from pluginManagement version selection

but since Maven SIte Plugin ..., it benefits not only from pluginManagement version (and configuration) but also from plugin: we need to make that clear, because versions of report plugins are a pain for users who don't know about this, because it force them to define a property that will be used both in pluginManagement/plugin and reporting

see https://maven.apache.org/shared/maven-reporting-exec/
