I'm really confused about the pluginManagement section. It seems
arbitrary and unnecessary. For instance, in the Chapter 6 example from
"Maven: The Definitive Guide", there is the following declaration:
<build>
<pluginManagement>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<source>1.5</source>
<target>1.5</target>
</configuration>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</pluginManagement>
</build>
Without this declaration, the project fails to compile because the
source code uses Java 1.5 syntax.
However -- and this is the part that baffles me -- if you simply
remove the pluginManagement tags (leaving the plugins section intact),
it still works perfectly!
Can someone point me to an example where pluginManagement actually
serves a purpose? Thanks,
Trevor
