Michael Osipov commented on MJAVADOC-310:
-----------------------------------------
If the used did not define that property, the compiler plugin wouldn't detect
that value anyway. It would be in the very same situation. As a fallback,
{{getJavadocVersion}} is always available. I think this is a patch which is
worth being committed. It woudl solve MPIR-263 too.
A {{project-context}} settings store at runtime is something for Maven 4 and
out of scope for this plugin right now.

> Key: MJAVADOC-310
> URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MJAVADOC-310
> Project: Maven Javadoc Plugin
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 2.7
> Environment: Maven 2.2.1, maven-compiler-plugin 2.3.2
> Reporter: Michael Osipov
>
> I set my m-c-p version in my parent's pluginManagement section but did not
> alter source and target because I am fine with 1.5.
> Now another project references it and complains that the above setting is not
> available:
> {noformat}
> [INFO] Generating "JavaDocs" report.
> [DEBUG] No maven-compiler-plugin defined in ${build.plugins} or in
> ${project.build.pluginManagement} for the
> <groupId>:url-provider-api:jar:0.1-SNAPSHOT. Added Javadoc API link according
> the javadoc executable version i.e.: 1.6
> [DEBUG] Found Java API link: http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/
> [DEBUG] Try to add links for dependencies...
> {noformat}
> The behavior is incorrect. Either m-javadoc-p ignores the plugin's default
> settings or it does not merge the model.
