Chris Hennick created MNG-6284: ---------------------------------- Summary: <executions> inside <pluginManagement> should raise a warning Key: MNG-6284 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-6284 Project: Maven Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: 3.0.5 Environment: Ubuntu 14.04.3 Reporter: Chris Hennick
When I was setting up my project's pom.xml, I was unaware that there was a difference between project/build/pluginManagement/plugins and project/build/plugins. These StackOverflow questions indicate I'm not the only one who was confused: * https://stackoverflow.com/questions/18557245/not-able-to-bind-plugin-goals-to-maven-lifecycle-phases * https://stackoverflow.com/questions/23785443/binding-to-lifecycle-in-maven-does-not-work-on-failsafe-and-integration-test If we have to have such a confusing schema, then can we please at least raise a warning when the confusion inevitably occurs, given how easy it is to detect (since AFAICT there'd be no reason to put an executions tag inside pluginManagement/plugins/plugin)? -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.4.14#64029)
