             Summary: POM plugin groupId default value is not (properly) documented
                 Key: MNGSITE-453
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNGSITE-453
             Project: Maven Project Web Site
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Marcono1234


As described in [this StackOverflow answer|https://stackoverflow.com/a/65533111] the {{groupId}} for {{plugin}} elements in the POM has a default value of {{org.apache.maven.pugins}}.
However this does not seem to be documented. Even if it is the case that relying on it is discouraged, it should at least be documented so users which only see an {{artifactId}} for a plugin understand which {{groupId}} will be used.
The fact that this is in them POM XSD file is not documentation; users will most likely have already invested a lot of time looking at the other Maven resources before looking at the XSD, or they won't think of looking at the XSD at all.

Therefore it would be good to (at least) adjust the following two pages to mention this default {{groupId}}:
- [POM Reference|https://maven.apache.org/pom.html#Plugins]
- [Guide to Configuring Plug-ins|https://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-configuring-plugins.html]
