[jira] [Commented] (MNG-5951) add an option to avoid path addition to inherited URLs

["Andreas Sewe (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-5951?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15365912#comment-15365912 ] 

Andreas Sewe commented on MNG-5951:
-----------------------------------

Opened MNG-6059 as a follow-up bug as this IMHO fails to address some important use cases.

I’m not saying that we need to have the mor eflexible but more complex {{@inherit}} attribute I talk about above, but the fact that {{child.inherit.append.path}} affects *all* its children makes it unable to deal with the common use case of an inheritable {{<scm>}} configuration for Github. :-(

> What I am trying to achieve is 
> the definition of a project.url in a parent pom 
> in a way that all children inherit a url ending with 
> {code}
> ${project.groupId}/${project.artifactId}/${project.version}/ 
> {code}
> in order to be able to publish sites of all artifacts in all versions in parallel
> without having to redefine the url in every child pom.
> This is currently not working as expected in maven due to the default child urls calculation which leads to urls that add up parent urls like 
> http://my.domain.de/sites/de.enterprise.calculatorsGroupId/calculator-artifactID/1.0.0-SNAPSHOT/internetAppParentPOM/calculatorParentPom/calculator-artifactID/
> The part *"internetAppParentPOM/calculatorParentPom/"* is added by automatic child url calculation (those are the artifactIds of all parent poms beneath our enterprise parent pom where the url is defined) and *is expexted to not be there at all*. The repeated artifactID at the end of the url is superfluous as well but tollerable.
> I expect maven-core to be changed so that I can turn on/off the automatic calculation of child URLs as an option which is by default on (current behaviour so nothing will change unless configured explicitly).
> See the discussion in MSITE-672. 
> As this can not be done in the maven-site-plugin there needs to be a change in Maven itself (core), in Maven Model Builder, ie the way effective model is calculated, and more precisely in the inheritance step: http://maven.apache.org/ref/current/maven-model-builder/.
