[jira] [Created] (MDEP-669) Optimize the documentation of of build-classpath-mojo

Xinrong Meng created MDEP-669:
---------------------------------

             Summary: Optimize the documentation of <outputProperty> of build-classpath-mojo
                 Key: MDEP-669
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MDEP-669
             Project: Maven Dependency Plugin
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: build-classpath
            Reporter: Xinrong Meng


The documentation in [https://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-dependency-plugin/build-classpath-mojo.html#outputProperty] is relatively confusing.

 

`A property to set to the content of the classpath string.` would give users illusions that they can use this parameter to modify the content of the classpath string, rather than set the content of the classpath string to some property.

 

As far as I'm concerned, I wanted to embed classifier information in the displayed classpath string, and I misunderstood this parameter until I checked the source code of how it is defined.

 

All in all, it would be great we could explicitly point it out that this parameter sets the content of the classpath string to some property.
