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

             Summary: Correct the documentation for the plugin management
                 Key: MNG-6451
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-6451
             Project: Maven
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Documentation:  General
    Affects Versions: 3.5.3
            Reporter: Martin Prochazka


In the documentation of the plugin management element it says that the plugin management relates *only* to children, however maven behaves differently. The following pom creates also a jar with dependencies, even by documentation it should not be configured to do so.

The solution is to change a few words in the documentation.
