Herve Boutemy closed MJAVADOC-285. ---------------------------------- Resolution: Duplicate > "combine.children='append'" not being honored in <reporting/> > ------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MJAVADOC-285 > URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MJAVADOC-285 > Project: Maven 2.x Javadoc Plugin > Issue Type: Bug > Reporter: Brian Lalor > Attachments: maven_config_bug.tgz > > > I'm trying to combine multiple maven-javadoc-plugin configuration stanzas > such that child modules can append {{<link/>}} elements to those specified by > the parent. This supposedly can be done by adding the attribute > "{{combine.children='append'}}" to the {{<links/>}} element in the child > module's {{<configuration/>}} element, like so: > {code:xml} > <reporting> > <plugins> > <plugin> > <artifactId>maven-javadoc-plugin</artifactId> > <configuration> > <links combine.children="append"> > > <link>http://static.springframework.org/spring/docs/2.5.x/api/</link> > </links> > </configuration> > </plugin> > </plugins> > </reporting> > {code} > What actually happens is that the child module's configuration reflects only > the single {{<link/>}}, and not any {{<link/>}} elements also defined in the > parent. The output of {{mvn help:effective-pom}} bears this out. Putting > the plugin configuration into the {{<build/>}} element instead of > {{<reporting/>}} shows the correct combination occurring (except that the > report is obviously not configured that way...). > The attached tarball contains a barebones multi-module project that shows > this bug, as well as the output of {{help:effective-pom}} in separate files. > I've also included the output of {{mvn -X help:effective-pom}} in the file > {{build.log}}. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
