Wolfgang Fahl commented on MNG-6189:
------------------------------------

When getting the message:

Some problems were encountered while building the effective model for ...
[WARNING] Reporting configuration should be done in <reporting> section, not in maven-site-plugin <configuration> as reportPlugins parameter. @ line ... column ...
[WARNING] 

as search egine search points here. This is very infortunate since for maven users this might be all greek. It would be great to have some simple configuration examples and an answer to the stackoverflow question below:

> with MNG-4162, a bunch of reporting logic was removed from Maven core.
> This was globally successful, but not on one topic: it was expected to remove pom's {{reporting}} section and replace it with a normal {{reportPlugins}} parameter in maven-site-plugin configuration.
> We later discovered that with this normal parameter, we missed one crucial feature: report plugins inheritance, which would require a new mechanism MSITE-484
> Then we reverted our instructions in maven-site-plugin documentation MSITE-647: the new {{reportPlugins}} parameter is now just an implementation detail, but should not be used by end-users, {{reporting}} section remains the way to configure report plugins MSITE-684
> Now adding a warning in Maven core when it detects a {{reportPlugins}} parameter in a maven-site-plugin configuration is easy to do, will help users come back to normal {{reporting}} configuration, and will permit future enhancements (we need to finally completely clean-up the situation we created with this story...)
