[jira] [Created] (MNG-6284) inside should raise a warning

Chris Hennick created MNG-6284:
----------------------------------

             Summary: <executions> inside <pluginManagement> should raise a warning
                 Key: MNG-6284
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-6284
             Project: Maven
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 3.0.5
         Environment: Ubuntu 14.04.3
            Reporter: Chris Hennick


When I was setting up my project's pom.xml, I was unaware that there was a difference between project/build/pluginManagement/plugins and project/build/plugins. These StackOverflow questions indicate I'm not the only one who was confused:
* https://stackoverflow.com/questions/18557245/not-able-to-bind-plugin-goals-to-maven-lifecycle-phases
* https://stackoverflow.com/questions/23785443/binding-to-lifecycle-in-maven-does-not-work-on-failsafe-and-integration-test

If we have to have such a confusing schema, then can we please at least raise a warning when the confusion inevitably occurs, given how easy it is to detect (since AFAICT there'd be no reason to put an executions tag inside pluginManagement/plugins/plugin)?
