Hans Aikema commented on MNG-6540: ---------------------------------- The following POM will still generate a dependencies report when called with *mvn clean project-info-reports:dependencies* {code:java} <project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd"> <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion> <groupId>net.aikebah</groupId> <artifactId>mng6540-faulty</artifactId> <version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version> <name>mng6540-faulty</name> <dependencies> <dependency> <groupId>org.slf4j</groupId> <artifactId>slf4j-api</artifactId> <version>1.7.7</version> </dependency> </dependencies> <build> <pluginManagement> <plugins> <plugin> <artifactId>maven-project-info-reports-plugin</artifactId> <version>3.0.0</version> </plugin> </plugins> </pluginManagement> </build> <reporting> <plugins> <plugin> <artifactId>maven-project-info-reports-plugin</artifactId> <version>3.0.0</version> <configuration> <skip>true</skip> </configuration> </plugin> </plugins> </reporting> </project> {code} > Configuration in reporting section not taken into account when running from > cli > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MNG-6540 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-6540 > Project: Maven > Issue Type: Bug > Affects Versions: 3.6.0 > Reporter: Hans Aikema > Priority: Major > > Investigating on [https://github.com/jeremylong/DependencyCheck/issues/1444] > my conclusion is that plugin configuration using the reporting section does > not work as documented on > [https://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-configuring-plugins.html#Using_the_reporting_Tag_VS_build_Tag] > When configuring the plugin using the reporting section of the pom the > configuration is not applied when calling the plugin goal from the CLI > whereas the guide states that it is first looked up there and only when not > found searched for in the build section. > Don't know if this is the intended behaviour of the CLI-invocation of the > plugins (and thus a documentation bug) or an actual bug in the configuration > evaluation, but I spotted similar behaviour with the > maven-project-info-reports-plugin -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
