modules list empty if modules don't use this project as parent in reactor build
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MSITE-129
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MSITE-129
Project: Maven 2.x Site Plugin
Type: Bug
Versions: 2.0-beta-5
Reporter: Kenney Westerhof
Assigned to: Kenney Westerhof
Priority: Minor
The code in the AbstractSiteRenderingMojo does the following:
- if it's running in a reactor build (i.e. more than 1 project in the reactor
projects) it scans all
projects to see if it's parent project equals the current project. If so, it's
marked as a module.
- if it's running on a single project, the project.build.modules is consulted
and those modules
are marked as modules.
I've got a 'fake' root pom, for utility purposes: it lists all projects as
modules so that I can easily
built everything and generate a site. However, this fake root pom is never used
as a parent - there's
a /pom/pom.xml project for that.
The result of this is that the modules list is empty.
A workaround is to first run 'mvn site' and then 'mvn site -N'.
I'm not sure what the correct solution should be - basically now 2 site layouts
are implemented:
- a physical layout where the modules match the <modules> section of the pom,
reflecting filesystem layout,
- a project hierarchy layout based on <parent>
and one or the other is used depending on wheter the build contains more than 1
project or not.
My first feeling is that since the tag is called ${modules} (or <menu
ref="modules"/>) that
the site should use the <modules>, not the <parent>.
It should also take into consideration, that IF a reactor build is running, it
should only use the modules that are also
in the reactor (so you can use -r -Dmaven.reactor.excludes=.. to generate a
site with not all projects in it).
Thoughts?
