Inherited plugin executed twice if child pom merges configuration
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MNG-2237
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-2237
Project: Maven 2
Type: Bug
Components: Inheritence and Interpolation
Versions: 2.0.4
Reporter: Joerg Schaible
According the docs the configuration of a plugin is merged, when the plugin is
inherited. This actually hapens, but the plugin with the merged configuration
is added twice in the effective-pom and therefore executed twice.
Setup a parent pom with a plugin configuration to attach the javadocs:
{noformat}
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-javadoc-plugin</artifactId>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>attach-javadocs</id>
<goals>
<goal>jar</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
<inherited>true</inherited>
<configuration>
<linksource>true</linksource>
</configuration>
</plugin>
{noformat}
and a child pom that adds additional elements in the configuration:
{noformat}
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-javadoc-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<links>
<link>http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/</link>
<link>http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/logging/commons-logging-1.0.4/docs/apidocs/</link>
<link>http://jmock.codehaus.org/docs/javadoc/</link>
<link>http://www.junit.org/junit/javadoc/3.8.1/</link>
</links>
</configuration>
</plugin>
{noformat}
In this case the javadoc is generated twice, the goal help:effective-pom
reveals, that the plugin was merged, but added twice.
