Child POM inherit reporting configurtaion from parent POM?

[REMIJAN, MICHAEL J [AG/1000]]

I have javadoc reporting configuration in a PARENT POM an it looks like
this:

<reporting>
        <plugins>
                <plugin>
                        <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
                        <artifactId>maven-javadoc-plugin</artifactId>
                        <inherited>true</inherited>
                        <configuration>
                           <links>
 
<link>http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api</link>
 
<link>http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/chain/apidocs</link>
                   </links>
            </configuration>
                </plugin>               
        </plugins>
  </reporting>


Now for a CHILD POM I want to add a new <link> for a library which the
CHILD project uses.  So I have this in the CHILD POM

<reporting>
    <plugins>
        <plugin>
            <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
            <artifactId>maven-javadoc-plugin</artifactId>
            <configuration>
               <links>
                    <link>http://flickrj.sourceforge.net/api/</link>
               </links>
            </configuration>
        </plugin>        
    </plugins>
 </reporting>

My problem is Maven isn't combining the two.  I expected
help:effective-pom to have 3 <link> tags but it only shows the one from
the CHILD POM.  So the CHILD POM configuration is overriding the PARENT
POM.  Is there a way to get Maven to combine the two?
