A parent pom's "build.pluginManagement" plugin configuration is stripped from released pom and can't be inherited. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MNG-4125 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-4125 Project: Maven 2 Issue Type: Bug Components: Deployment Affects Versions: 2.1.0, 2.0.10 Environment: Windows XP SP3, JSDK 1.6.0_12 Reporter: Robert Clark This behaviour is apparent in 2.0.10 and 2.1.0, but when I rolled back to 2.0.9 it worked as intended. Start with a parent pom of packaging "pom". In the <build> section, add a <pluginManagement> section containing anything (I tried a simple maven-antrun-plugin to echo something in verify phase, but anything will do). Ensure the project containing this pom is under source control. Perform a release:prepare and release:perform, NOT of snapshot versions. At this stage you can see the released pom doesn't have the pluginManagement section as it should. Create a child project whose parent is the released parent as above. Add the appropriate plugin identifier to the build section so that pluginManagement above is pulled in. Execute "mvn help:effective-pom" to see that no configuration is found. This bug doesn't become apparent until releasing, as SNAPSHOT poms don't have the pluginManagement stripped. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.codehaus.org/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
