Tim Stewart updated MNGSITE-410: -------------------------------- Summary: on website, Maven Getting Started page, sample pom.xml has no description element, but subsequent explanation of the sample pom.xml thinks it does (was: on website, Maven Getting Started page, sample pom.xml has no description element, but explanation of pom.xml thinks it does) > on website, Maven Getting Started page, sample pom.xml has no description > element, but subsequent explanation of the sample pom.xml thinks it does > -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MNGSITE-410 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNGSITE-410 > Project: Maven Project Web Site > Issue Type: Bug > Environment: website > Reporter: Tim Stewart > Priority: Minor > > On web page [https://maven.apache.org/guides/getting-started/] the sample > pom.xml does not contain a <description> element, but below the sample > pom.xml it says: "This is a very simple POM but still displays the key > elements every POM contains, so let's walk through each of them to > familiarize you with the POM essentials: ... • _description This element > provides a basic description of your project. This is often used in Maven's > generated documentation._" > So the explanation of the "description" element assumes the pom.xml contains > one, but it does not. > Recommended fix: include a "description" element in the sample pom.xml. Or, > alternatively, remove references to the description "element" from the > bulleted explanation of elements below the sample pom.xml -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.4#803005)
