Benjamin Bentmann commented on MSITE-180:
-----------------------------------------
bq. The parent's site.xml overrides everything in the child module's site.xml
This seems like MSITE-279 which has been fixed just a few days ago. I cannot
reproduce the bad inheritance with the current SVN head. The last [snapshot of
the
plugin|http://people.apache.org/repo/m2-snapshot-repository/org/apache/maven/plugins/maven-site-plugin/2.0-beta-7-SNAPSHOT/]
seems outdated, so can you rebuild the plugin from source and check again?
bq. Furthermore the site:stage-target doesn't generate working links between
modules
The links seem OK when using {{site:stage}} but {{site:stage-deploy}} alters
the directory structure, causing the links to fail. But that's a different
issue: MSITE-304
> Missing url tag in (parent) pom make it ignore the site inheritence system
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

> Key: MSITE-180
> URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MSITE-180
> Project: Maven 2.x Site Plugin
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: inheritance
> Affects Versions: 2.0-beta-5
> Reporter: Geoffrey De Smet
> Attachments: multi-module-project.zip
>
>
> IF none of the poms (module or parent) don't have an url tag, like this:
> <project ...>
> ...
> <url>...</url>
> ...
> </project>
> (It doesn't matter if they have url tags in scm, distribution etc)
> THEN site inheritence quitely isn't applied, for example in the parent's
> site.xml
> <menu name="Blogs" inherit="bottom">
> <item name="maven" href="http://www.mavenblogs.org/"/>
> </menu>
> isn't inherited in the childe module's site.
> proposed solutions:
> - or fix it :)
> - or document this wanted behaviour in the site plugin's documentation at
> http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-site-plugin/howto.html
> with something like
> "Site inheritence only works if you have a url tag in your parent pom."
> because this can cost people many hours - it did for me
> But once site inheritence works, it's very nice though :)
