[jira] [Commented] (MNG-5986) XML validators flag errors on poms that declare plugin configurations using the 'combine.self' attribute because the maven-4.0.0 XSD does not declare this attribute.

--------------------------------------------

What rules do we have for changing the schema outside of a major release?

> Maven recognizes an attribute 'combine.self' on the 'configuration' element within plugin declarations within a POM ('configuration' elements within and outside 'execution' elements). However, an XML validator flags use of this attribute as an error. Which is correct, because published XSD http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd does not declare 'combine.self' as an attribute of 'configuration'.
> Current declaration of the configuration element:
> <xs:element name="configuration" minOccurs="0">
>         <xs:annotation>
>           <xs:documentation source="version">4.0.0</xs:documentation>
>           <xs:documentation source="description">The configuration of the reporting plugin.</xs:documentation>
>         </xs:annotation>
>         <xs:complexType>
>           <xs:sequence>
>             <xs:any minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded" processContents="skip"/>
>           </xs:sequence>
>         </xs:complexType>
>       </xs:element>
> Simple fix:
>       <xs:element name="configuration" minOccurs="0">
>         <xs:annotation>
>           <xs:documentation source="version">0.0.0+</xs:documentation>
>         </xs:annotation>
>         <xs:complexType>
>           <xs:sequence>
>             <xs:any minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded" processContents="skip"/>
>           </xs:sequence>
>           <xs:attribute name="combine.self" type="xs:string" use="optional"/>
>         </xs:complexType>
>       </xs:element>
