Ohad Kravchick commented on MNG-2751: ------------------------------------- My [private] projects has a similar need. I am using the jacoco code coverage plugin (http://www.eclemma.org/jacoco/trunk/doc/maven.html) in a parent pom and want to specify some default exclusions there (for example, {{**/Test*.java}}), but to allow individual child project poms to *add* exclusions of their own. > Resource inheritance isn't additive > ----------------------------------- > > Key: MNG-2751 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-2751 > Project: Maven > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Inheritance and Interpolation > Affects Versions: 2.0.4 > Environment: All > Reporter: Jason Melnick > > I have an inheritance model as such: > Parent_POM (General dependencyManagement, pluginManagement, etc) > |-->Base_POM (global dependency inclusion, default goal, default plugins, etc) > |-->Artifact_POM (declares specific artifact type functionality, > resources, profiles, etc) > |-->Project_POM (project specific dependencies, resources, etc) > I am attempting to create an hierarchy that will enable a new project to get > up and running with very little modification. The issue I am having is if > build.resources are declared in the Project_POM they are wiping the > Artifact_POM's declarations. > I think that resources should always be additive. If nothing else add an > <inherited> tag a la the plugin element's <inherited> tag. In lieu of that > perhaps a resourceManagement section that exposes resource id's that could be > selectively added by the child... -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.4.14#64029)
