------------------------------------

             Summary: site:stage should function without a URL specified in the POM
                 Key: MSITE-1016
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MSITE-1016
             Project: Maven Site Plugin
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Maven 3
    Affects Versions: 3.8.2
            Reporter: Claude Warren


Note: actual version is 3.8.6

*Documentation states:*
{quote}By default, the site will be staged in a directory {{{}target/staging/{}}}.
{quote}
*Issue description:*

When I try to run site:stage without a site entry in the pom distrobutionManagement section I get an error that says the site entry must be specified.
{quote}Specifying 
<distributionManagement>
<site>
<id>staging</id>
</site>
</distributionManagement>
{quote}
Will yield an error that states the URL must be specified. Entering an invalid URL solves the problem.
{quote}<distributionManagement>
<site>
<id>staging</id>
<url>invalid:url</url>
</site>
</distributionManagement>
{quote}
The above is literally the text in my pom file.

*Desired setup:*

I would like to see the URL be optional so that I can trigger the site:stage goal without having to specify the URL in the pom and without having to specify the stagingDirectory on the command line.

I would also like this better documented.
