-------------------------------------
Summary: fix documentation on maven-plugin-annotations that tells
that provided is sufficient
Key: MPLUGIN-321
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MPLUGIN-321
Project: Maven Plugin Tools
Issue Type: Bug
Components: maven-plugin-annotations
Affects Versions: 3.5
Reporter: Hervé Boutemy
Fix For: 3.5.1
https://maven.apache.org/plugin-tools-archives/plugin-tools-3.5/maven-plugin-plugin/examples/using-annotations.html#POM_configuration
tells
{code:xml} <dependencies>
<!-- dependencies to annotations -->
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugin-tools</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-plugin-annotations</artifactId>
<version>3.5</version>
<scope>provided</scope><!-- annotations are needed only to build the
plugin -->
</dependency>
</dependencies>
{code}
No, annotations are not needed only to build the plugin (since they have
{{@Retention(value=CLASS)}}), and Maven core does not inject
maven-plugin-annotations at runtime (why would it? Maven core works by reading
{{META-INF/maven/plugin.xml}})
Maven Plugin Tools plugin itself was fixed in MPLUGIN-296, since a change in
Maven core (MRESOLVER-8/MNG-6135) plugin dependencies resolution showed that it
was working magically but should not have worked previously...
then our recipe have to be updated to avoid people continuing to introduce this
wrong magic in their plugins...
