Fwd: [jira] Created: (MNG-1492) A more in-depth guide on the elements of the Project descriptor (pom.xml) file.

hi guys,

   since most of the features/enhancements are being prioritized
depending on the number of votes, i created the ticket below for a
more detailed guide on the pom.xml file.  the multi-project guide
which is supposedly one of the most 'popular' requests only has 13
votes. :)

   maybe the more experienced users in the list can attach what they
know on the ticket so it can be incorporated in the guide.


ciao!

A more in-depth guide on the elements of the Project descriptor (pom.xml) file.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

        Key: MNG-1492
        URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-1492
    Project: Maven 2
       Type: Improvement
 Components: documentation - guides
   Reporter: Anuerin Diaz


Currently the documentation[1] on the Project descriptor file is
sparse. Although most of the basic elements are understandable[2],
some of the features remain under utilized (e.g. difference between
dependencies and dependencyManagement, plugins and pluginsManagement,
etc.).

A more in-depth explanation or discussion on what are the advantages
of each element may be in order. Hopefully the user community can also
contribute so that it would be easier to write the guide.

I am a complete newbie to maven and I can tell you that I have a hard time  
trying to make it work.
Maven really needs to have its documentation improved.

I think we all understand the potential of the project and that's a reason  
why even if it is very difficult to have it working we continue to try,  
but improving the documentation would definitely make it a NO-MISS in the  
dev world.

OK, great.  I thought they were the same, yet perhaps you had some other
intention I did not understand!

Yes, getting the POM annotations clear and detailed is an excellent goal and big
benefit for all users!

I must have missed it while I was searching JIRA. I posted that JIRA
ticket when I was leaving the office. I should have searched more
closely.

Ill put a comment to re-direct to your ticket. I just hope others vote
so we can get a more comprehensive documentation.

ciao!
