> the question of configuring the reporting section in addition to configuring the plugin, which should not be necessary if pluginManagement is configured since maven-site-plugin 3.4: see https://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-site-plugin/history.html (some documentation here and there should probably require some updates to explain how things evolved over time) On that page, I could not find hints, also the link https://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-site-plugin/maven-3.html is dead on that page. The only references towards build plugin/reference plugin configuration is 1. https://maven.apache.org/pom.html#reporting, stating > And the subtler difference is that a plugin configuration under the reporting element works as build plugin configuration, although the opposite is not true (a build plugin configuration does not affect a reporting plugin). This information lead me to believe that also build plugin Management would not affect reporting plugins. This requires clarification. 1. https://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-configuring-plugins.html#using-the-reporting-tag-vs-build-tag, stating > mvn site It uses only the parameters defined in the <configuration> element of each reporting Plugin specified in the <reporting> element, i.e. site always ignores the parameters defined in the <configuration> element of each plugin specified in <build>. This also indicates that plugin management is not relevant for reporting plugins, as the `only` is in printed in bold There is also the related bug report about Maven not behaving as documented: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-7006. Please clarify first what is the intended behaviour, because right now I am totally lost with what is desired behaviour vs. what is actually a bug. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
