Benjamin Bentmann commented on MNG-3845: ---------------------------------------- bq. Would a work-around be to specify an empty notifiers ? Nope, has the same result. The point is that there is no rationale to inherit the notifiers from the parent if the child defines a completely different/unrelated CI system. Maven 2.x "knows" this by stopping inheritance for certain POM subtrees if the child overrides the parent element of such a subtree (c.f {{DefaultModelInheritanceAssembler}}). This issue gets even more annoying for things like dist repos, e.g. a child declaring {code:xml} <distributionManagement> <repository> <id>child-distros</id> <url>ssh://child.url/distros</url> </repository> </distributionManagement> {code} still inherits {{<name>}}, {{<uniqueVersion>}} and {{<layout>}} for its repo from the parent despite the URL/ID employed by the child indicating a repository which is completely unrelated to the one specified in the parent. > Unintended inheritance of parent elements overriden by children > --------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MNG-3845 > URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-3845 > Project: Maven 2 > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Inheritance and Interpolation > Affects Versions: 3.0-alpha-1 > Reporter: Benjamin Bentmann > > Parent POM snippet: > {code:xml} > <ciManagement> > <system>parent-ci</system> > <url>http://parent.url/ci</url> > <notifiers> > <notifier> > <type>irc</type> > <sendOnError>true</sendOnError> > <sendOnFailure>true</sendOnFailure> > <sendOnSuccess>false</sendOnSuccess> > <sendOnWarning>false</sendOnWarning> > <configuration> > <address>irc://parent.url/#ci</address> > </configuration> > </notifier> > </notifiers> > </ciManagement> > {code} > Child POM snippet: > {code:xml} > <ciManagement> > <system>child-ci</system> > <url>http://child.url/ci</url> > </ciManagement> > {code} > Effective child POM: > {code:xml} > <ciManagement> > <system>child-ci</system> > <url>http://child.url/ci</url> > <notifiers> > <notifier> > <type>irc</type> > <sendOnError>true</sendOnError> > <sendOnFailure>true</sendOnFailure> > <sendOnSuccess>false</sendOnSuccess> > <sendOnWarning>false</sendOnWarning> > <configuration> > <address>irc://parent.url/#ci</address> > </configuration> > </notifier> > </notifiers> > </ciManagement> > {code} > i.e. the notifiers are erroneously inherited although the child has specified > its own CI management.
