Brett Porter updated MNG-3660:
------------------------------
Fix Version/s: 2.0.x
> "combine.children='append'" not being honored in <reporting/>
> -------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: MNG-3660
> URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-3660
> Project: Maven 2
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Inheritance and Interpolation, Plugins and Lifecycle, POM
> Affects Versions: 2.0.9
> Reporter: Brian Lalor
> Fix For: 2.0.x

> Attachments: maven_config_bug.tgz

> I'm trying to combine multiple maven-javadoc-plugin configuration stanzas
> such that child modules can append {{<link/>}} elements to those specified by
> the parent. This supposedly can be done by adding the attribute
> "{{combine.children='append'}}" to the {{<links/>}} element in the child
> module's {{<configuration/>}} element, like so:
> {code:xml}
> <reporting>
> <plugins>
> <plugin>
> <artifactId>maven-javadoc-plugin</artifactId>
> <configuration>
> <links combine.children="append">
>
> <link>http://static.springframework.org/spring/docs/2.5.x/api/</link>
> </links>
> </configuration>
> </plugin>
> </plugins>
> </reporting>
> {code}
> What actually happens is that the child module's configuration reflects only
> the single {{<link/>}}, and not any {{<link/>}} elements also defined in the
> parent. The output of {{mvn help:effective-pom}} bears this out. Putting
> the plugin configuration into the {{<build/>}} element instead of
> {{<reporting/>}} shows the correct combination occurring (except that the
> report is obviously not configured that way...).
> The attached tarball contains a barebones multi-module project that shows
> this bug, as well as the output of {{help:effective-pom}} in separate files.
> I've also included the output of {{mvn -X help:effective-pom}} in the file
> {{build.log}}.
