[jira] Commented: (MSITE-443) add a reportingManagement section

["Sven Ludwig (JIRA)" <ji...@codehaus.org>]

    [ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MSITE-443?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=209104#action_209104 ] 

Sven Ludwig commented on MSITE-443:
-----------------------------------

I want to add an idea how to solve this issue. It could be done by offering a new boolean property in the reporting section like "honorPluginManagement". Default should be false, but if it is set to true, the plugins in the reporting section would use the respective configurations in pluginManagement. It should then also be possible to override pluginManagement settings in the reporting section. Moreover, it should work no matter if the reporting section is in the same pom as the pluginManagement section, or if it is further down the inheritance tree. At least from my current personal perspective, this would be a good solution. ;-)

I can see however that some people may want a separate pluginManagement-like section within the reporting section.

> {code}
> {{mvn site:site}} doesn't honor the javadoc configuration specified in the {{<pluginManagement/>}} section.
> However, {{mvn javadoc:javadoc}} honors them.
> This is true not just for javadoc but other plugins like checkstyle as well.
> I guess, the {{<reporting/>}} section doesn't use the {{<pluginManagement/>}} section at all.
