Ha Ryon commented on MPH-53:
----------------------------
Same with Maven 2.1.0.
In <pluginManagement> of a Corporate Pom I use javadoc plugin 2.3, while latest
is 2.5.
effective-pom returns 2.3. describe returns 2.5.
I don't think it's a bug. I think help:describe just describe the latest
version.
When I type : mvn help:describe
-Dplugin=org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-javadoc-plugin
I'm using a "artifact identifier" syntax which usually includes version (which
I skipped). And I guess "LATEST" is used when I do not give explicit version.
It looks like to me that help:describe doesn't read pom.xml at all (except for
repository locations?). It only operates on repository. right ?
> mvn help:describe returns the version that is specified in metadata instead
> of the one in the parent pom
