Hervé Boutemy updated MNG-6189:
-------------------------------
Description:
with MNG-4162, a bunch of reporting logic was removed from Maven core.
This was globally successful, but not on one topic: it was expected to remove
pom's {{reporting}} section and replace it with a normal {{reportPlugins}}
parameter in maven-site-plugin configuration.
We later discovered that with this normal parameter, we missed one crucial
feature: report plugins inheritance, which would require a new mechanism
MSITE-484
Then we reverted our instructions in maven-site-plugin documentation MSITE-647:
the new {{reportPlugins}} parameter is now just an implementation detail, but
should not be used by end-users, {{reporting}} section remains the way to
configure report plugins MSITE-684
Now adding a warning in Maven core when it detects a {{reportPlugins}}
parameter in a maven-site-plugin configuration is easy to do, will help users
come back to normal {{reporting}} configuration, and will permit future
enhancements (we need to finally completely clean-up the situation we created
with this story...)
