Anne Gerodolle commented on MSITE-279:
--------------------------------------

Hi,

I've dowloaded the current version of the maven-site-plugin from the svn trunk.

I still observe the problem that menus are not inherited from the parent.

Moreover, if I do  not specify some "<url>" tag in the parent pom.xml, I now observe an exception I did not obtain before. I am enclosing 3 files :
exception.txt shows the new exception raised when no url tag is defined
bug1.zip : the project without url tag defined (modules sites are not built if typing mvn clean then mvn site)
bug2.zip : url tag define (modules sites are built but "menu1" is not inherited by modules)

> After updating to 2.0-beta-6, I never get proper site output for multi module projects. I attached a simple dummy project that shall help to reproduce the problem.
> When I perform a reactor build of the site (i.e. "project-parent> mvn site"), the pages of the sub module project-module-1 properly inherit most of the decorator elements, except for the custom "overview" menu. That is, the site of the sub module contains the menu configured for the parent project despite the sub module specifying its own menu.-
> In contrast, when I only build the site of the sub module (i.e. "project-module-1> mvn site"), many decoration elements are not inherited from the parent's site.xml like <version>, <bannerRight>, <skin>, <links>. However, now the sub module's site properly outputs its own menu items (i.e. "Module-Item" instead of "Parent-Item" for the attached projects).
> This issues might be a duplicate/relative of MSITE-256 but as I cannot safely judge from its description, I opened a new issue.
