Matthias Bünger reassigned MNGSITE-453:
---------------------------------------
Assignee: Matthias Bünger
> POM plugin groupId default value is not (properly) documented
> -------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: MNGSITE-453
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNGSITE-453
> Project: Maven Project Web Site (Moved to GitHub Issues)
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Marcono1234
> Assignee: Matthias Bünger
> Priority: Minor
>
> As described in [this StackOverflow
> answer|https://stackoverflow.com/a/65533111] the {{groupId}} for {{plugin}}
> elements in the POM has a default value of {{org.apache.maven.pugins}}.
> However this does not seem to be documented. Even if it is the case that
> relying on it is discouraged, it should at least be documented so users which
> only see an {{artifactId}} for a plugin understand which {{groupId}} will be
> used.
> The fact that this is value is specified in the POM XSD file might not
> suffice; users will most likely have already invested a lot of time looking
> at the other Maven resources before looking at the XSD, or they won't think
> of looking at the XSD at all.
> Therefore it would be good to (at least) adjust the following two pages to
> mention this default {{groupId}}:
> - [POM Reference|https://maven.apache.org/pom.html#Plugins]
> - [Guide to Configuring
> Plug-ins|https://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-configuring-plugins.html]
