[jira] Commented: (MNG-4162) Removal of all reporting logic from the core of Maven

["Christopher Hunt (JIRA)" <ji...@codehaus.org>]

    [ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-4162?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=242017#action_242017 ] 

Christopher Hunt commented on MNG-4162:
---------------------------------------

Am I correct in assuming that the 2.x reporting section of a pom file is completely incompatible with Maven 3? This has been my observation at least, and I suspect that it will impact on the uptake of Maven 3. I understand the motivation in factoring out the report plugin from core, but I would favour deprecation of the reporting section in the pom over removal in order to have Maven 3 become widely adopted.

> Any reporting implementation will be implemented as a plugin. Maven will provide any information, APIs, and extension points to make this possible. But the conflation of building with reporting in the core makes it almost impossible for anyone two understand the distinction, makes it impossible to have alternate implementations and couple many tools like Doxia directly to the core which is unacceptable for Maven 3.x.
