Parent project site descriptor menu options always a link back to parent site
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MSITE-420
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MSITE-420
Project: Maven 2.x Site Plugin
Issue Type: Bug
Components: doxia integration, inheritance
Affects Versions: 2.0.1, 2.0, 2.0-beta-7, 2.0-beta-6, 2.0-beta-5
Environment: Using maven 2.0.9 - and all versions of the site plugin
all the way back to 2.0-beta-5.
Reporter: EJ Ciramella
I'd like to have a parent project define what items are in a given menu for all
child projects and let the child projects define the contents of those links
(this doesn't work).
In the documentation for the site plugin here:
http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-site-plugin/examples/sitedescriptor.html
There is a bit in there about how to get a parent project site descriptor to be
inherited by a child project by using the following:
<menu name="My Inherited Menu" inherit="top">
This is great if you want the child project to always link back to the parent
project's links/pages for each menu option.
Doxia however shows this is configurable:
http://maven.apache.org/doxia/doxia-sitetools-1.0.x/doxia-decoration-model/decoration.html#class_menu
inheritAsRef - If this is a reference, setting true means that it will be
populated in the project, whereas if it is false, it is populated in the parent
and then inherited. The default value is false.
This property currently doesn't work.
