Behaviour for sources and Javadoc attachement for dependencies should be
consistent
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MECLIPSE-292
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MECLIPSE-292
Project: Maven 2.x Eclipse Plugin
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: dependency resolution
Affects Versions: 2.4
Environment: Windows XP, Maven 2.0.6, maven-eclipse-plugin
2.4-20070628.215652-24
Reporter: Denis Cabasson
Priority: Minor
Fix For: 2.4
Why couldn't we have a consistent behaviour for javadoc and sources jar
attachment?
Why not adding a downloadJavadoc property, which, when set to true, would
download and attach the javadoc to the dependency.
I don't really see why javadoc should be a fallback if sources are not
available.
Some developpers might prefer to have javadoc linked, some sources linked and
some both. Shouldn't the eclipse plugin allow for all the possiblities instead
of stating that the preferred option is always to get the sources instead of
the Javadoc?
