Elliotte Rusty Harold updated MDEP-669:
---------------------------------------
Priority: Major (was: Trivial)
> Optimize the documentation of <outputProperty> of build-classpath-mojo
> ----------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: MDEP-669
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MDEP-669
> Project: Maven Dependency Plugin
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: build-classpath
> Reporter: Xinrong Meng
> Priority: Major
> Labels: up-for-grabs
>
> The documentation in
> [https://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-dependency-plugin/build-classpath-mojo.html#outputProperty]
> is relatively confusing.
>
> `A property to set to the content of the classpath string.` would give users
> illusions that they can use this parameter to modify the content of the
> classpath string, rather than set the content of the classpath string to some
> property.
>
> As far as I'm concerned, I wanted to embed classifier information in the
> displayed classpath string, and I misunderstood this parameter until I
> checked the source code of how it is defined.
>
> All in all, it would be great we could explicitly point it out that this
> parameter sets the content of the classpath string to some property.
