It's entirely possible that our inheritance mechanism isn't completely
right on this...can you please file a JIRA issue, and I'll look at it
when I have some slack time.

Thanks,

Hi all,

I have a question about which elements of the POM are inherited by
derived POM's.

In my parent POM I have a <build> section which specifies the source
directory and some parameters for the java compiler:

  <build>
      <sourceDirectory>src</sourceDirectory>
      <plugins>
          <plugin>
              <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
              <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
              <version>1.0-alpha-2-SNAPSHOT</version>
              <configuration>
                  <source>1.5</source>
                  <target>1.5</target>
              </configuration>
          </plugin>
      </plugins>
  </build>

In a derived POM, the source directoriy is different, so a new <build>
section is specified:

  <build>
      <sourceDirectory>module/src</sourceDirectory>
  </build>

The overridden source directory is effectuated in this second POM, but
it appears that  the java compiler settings have disappeared (it starts
e.g. complaining about JDK 1.4 features like assertions). If I do not
specify a <build> section in the derived POM, the settings of the base
POM are inherited.

It appears that the <build> section is (completely) inherited if it is
not present in the derived POM, but if a <build> section is specified in
the derived POM, everything from the base POM is thrown away and only
the settings of the derived POM are used.
Is this correct?

Thanks in advance.
