Child POM inherit reporting configurtaion from parent POM?
I have javadoc reporting configuration in a PARENT POM an it looks like
this:
<reporting>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-javadoc-plugin</artifactId>
<inherited>true</inherited>
<configuration>
<links>
<link>http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api</link>
<link>http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/chain/apidocs</link>
</links>
</configuration>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</reporting>
Now for a CHILD POM I want to add a new <link> for a library which the
CHILD project uses. So I have this in the CHILD POM
<reporting>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-javadoc-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<links>
<link>http://flickrj.sourceforge.net/api/</link>
</links>
</configuration>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</reporting>
My problem is Maven isn't combining the two. I expected
help:effective-pom to have 3 <link> tags but it only shows the one from
the CHILD POM. So the CHILD POM configuration is overriding the PARENT
POM. Is there a way to get Maven to combine the two?

Posted by Brian Fox <br...@infinity.nu>.
The merging inside the configuration doesn't add the things together because
it isn't known ahead of time if replacement or merging makes sense for a
given plugin.
