Unintended inheritance of parent elements overriden by children ---------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MNG-3845 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-3845 Project: Maven 2 Issue Type: Bug Components: Inheritance and Interpolation Affects Versions: 3.0-alpha-1 Reporter: Benjamin Bentmann Parent POM snippet: {code:xml} <ciManagement> <system>parent-ci</system> <url>http://parent.url/ci</url> <notifiers> <notifier> <type>irc</type> <sendOnError>true</sendOnError> <sendOnFailure>true</sendOnFailure> <sendOnSuccess>false</sendOnSuccess> <sendOnWarning>false</sendOnWarning> <configuration> <address>irc://parent.url/#ci</address> </configuration> </notifier> </notifiers> </ciManagement> {code} Child POM snippet: {code:xml} <ciManagement> <system>child-ci</system> <url>http://child.url/ci</url> </ciManagement> {code} Effective child POM: {code:xml} <ciManagement> <system>child-ci</system> <url>http://child.url/ci</url> <notifiers> <notifier> <type>irc</type> <sendOnError>true</sendOnError> <sendOnFailure>true</sendOnFailure> <sendOnSuccess>false</sendOnSuccess> <sendOnWarning>false</sendOnWarning> <configuration> <address>irc://parent.url/#ci</address> </configuration> </notifier> </notifiers> </ciManagement> {code} i.e. the notifiers are erroneously inherited although the child has specified its own CI management. Happens to a couple of other elements like {{<distributionManagement>}}, too. It appears the all-or-nothing style inheritance present in Maven 2.x for certain elements is not properly emulated on trunk. -- 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
