Wolfgang Fahl commented on MNG-6189:
------------------------------------
I think it would be good to add a pointer to a specific website/blog entry
explaining what to do. A initial wording could be something like in the answer:
https://stackoverflow.com/a/46743438/1497139
And as simple svn / git diff that shows what things look before and after the
changes will be much clearer.
The abstract explanation is in any case far too complicated. When a mvn user
understands what he really needs to do the move is really simple.
In a wiki with syntax. highlighting things can be explained quite clearly - see

> WARN if maven-site-plugin configuration contains reportPlugins element
> ----------------------------------------------------------------------

> Key: MNG-6189
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-6189
> Project: Maven
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Inheritance and Interpolation, Sites & Reporting
> Affects Versions: 3.5.0-alpha-1
> Reporter: Hervé Boutemy
> Assignee: Hervé Boutemy
> Fix For: 3.5.0-beta-1, 3.5.0

>
> with MNG-4162, a bunch of reporting logic was removed from Maven core.
> This was globally successful, but not on one topic: it was expected to remove
> pom's {{reporting}} section and replace it with a normal {{reportPlugins}}
> parameter in maven-site-plugin configuration.
> We later discovered that with this normal parameter, we missed one crucial
> feature: report plugins inheritance, which would require a new mechanism
> MSITE-484
> Then we reverted our instructions in maven-site-plugin documentation
> MSITE-647: the new {{reportPlugins}} parameter is now just an implementation
> detail, but should not be used by end-users, {{reporting}} section remains
> the way to configure report plugins MSITE-684
> Now adding a warning in Maven core when it detects a {{reportPlugins}}
> parameter in a maven-site-plugin configuration is easy to do, will help users
> come back to normal {{reporting}} configuration, and will permit future
> enhancements (we need to finally completely clean-up the situation we created
> with this story...)
