[jira] Commented: (MSITE-578) Incorrect and confusing documentation of site directories

    [ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MSITE-578?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=262794#action_262794 ] 

SebbASF commented on MSITE-578:
-------------------------------

The fixed descriptions are much clearer, thanks.

However, generatedSiteDirectory and outputDirectory are still marked as "required", even though they have defaults.

>                 Key: MSITE-578
>                 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MSITE-578
>             Project: Maven 2.x and 3.x Site Plugin
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: site:stage(-deploy)
>    Affects Versions: 2.2, 3.0-beta-3
>            Reporter: SebbASF
>            Assignee: Lukas Theussl
>             Fix For: 2.3, 3.0-beta-4

> The site:stage goal contains the following doc:
> generatedSiteDirectory:
> Directory containing generated documentation.
>     * Type: java.io.File
>     * Required: Yes
>     * Expression: ${project.build.directory}/generated-site
> The expression looks wrong.
> The explanation is also a bit ambiguous - is the directory used to find already generated documentation, or is it used as the output directory from site:stage? In which case, how does it differ from outputDirectory ?
> The page also contains:
> outputDirectory:
> Directory containing the generated project sites and report distributions.
>     * Type: java.io.File
>     * Required: Yes
>     * Expression: ${siteOutputDirectory}
>     * Default: ${project.reporting.outputDirectory}
> Again, it's not obvious if this is an output or input directory.
> Also, why is the parameter marked as "Required" when there is a default?
