Menus from the parent pom should not be inherited
-------------------------------------------------
Key: MSITE-398
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MSITE-398
Project: Maven 2.x Site Plugin
Issue Type: Bug
Components: site descriptor
Affects Versions: 2.0, 2.0-beta-7, 2.0-beta-6
Environment: Windows, Java 6, Maven 2.09
Reporter: Anthony Whitford
Priority: Blocker
Attachments: maven-site-plugin-bug.zip
According to the *Inheritance* section from:
[http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-site-plugin/examples/sitedescriptor.html]
it says,
bq. By default, only the basic settings are inherited. From the body, only the
links are inherited, and these accumulate to contain all the parents' site
descriptor links.
Alas, this is not the case and this is a major problem. If I downgrade to
2.0-beta-5, the behavior is as expected. Using 2.0-beta-6, 2.0-beta-7, or 2.0,
makes the menus from the parent pom trickle into the inheriting project.
I have attached a sample project to illustrate this problem. The attached zip
contains 2 simple maven projects:
* parentpom -- represents a corporate parent pom with some site documentation
* multiproj -- represents a multiproject that inherits the parentpom.
If you edit _parentpom\pom.xml_ and change the version of the site plugin to
*2.0-beta-5*, then run {{mvn clean install site}} for both the {{parentpom}}
and then {{multiproj}}, you will see a fine site generated for _multiproj_.
Then, if you edit _parentpom\pom.xml_ and change the version of the site plugin
to *2.0* (the latest), then run {{mvn clean install site}} for both the
{{parentpom}} and then {{multiproj}}, you will see the site generated for
_multiproj_ contains menu links from the parent pom which should not have been
inherited.
