Robert Scholte commented on MJAVADOC-310: ----------------------------------------- I've asked [~jason] to have a look at this concept. The consequence of this solution is that users must add {{<maven.compiler.source>someValue</maven.compiler.source>}} to the properties of their pom. It's not a beautiful solution, but it might be the best solution for now. This also means, that you should advice users to use a property instead of a configuration entry, first of all in the maven-compiler-plugin for the source parameter. That's kind of weird, but that's the result of this solution. > compiler plugin settings aren't inherited from parent tor linking Java API > links > -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > 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.
