Maven 2 & 3

Hi. The patch in MNG-1499 released with 2.0.1 could have fixed this.... I tried it on my machine and found the executions to be inherited.

Can you try using 2.0.1 and see if its fixed?

I tried with a brand new Maven 2.0.1 installation and got the same thing.

What I'm trying to do is to run an Ant script at process-resources phase. Currently, I use the following conf. Moving it to pluginManagement would allow it not to be executed also for the parent.

<plugins>
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-antrun-plugin</artifactId>
<executions>
<execution>
<phase>process-resources</phase>
<goals>
<goal>run</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<tasks>
<ant antfile="replace.xml"/>
</tasks>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>ant</groupId>
<artifactId>ant-nodeps</artifactId>
<version>1.6.5</version>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
<inherited>true</inherited>
</plugin>
</plugins>

Hmmm... that's odd. can you do a "mvn help:effective-pom" on the child module and see which have been inherited? Mine definitely has the executions inherited.

Hi, can you provide some more info on how to reproduce this? Or maybe if there are others who have the same problem under 2.0.1, please do so too. Because I am unable to reproduce the error and would likely close this issue as "Cannot Repoduce". Thanks.

Hi Edwin, sorry, I wanted to post yesterday, but JIRA was down.
You were right, <executions> is inherited. Yet, <dependencies> is not, hence my test failure.
Should I close this issue and create another one for <dependencies> ?

mvn help:effective-pom gives :

~ <plugins>
~ <plugin>

I've updated the subject accordingly.

then this is duplicate with MNG-1896

Attached patch with unit test

I forgot that this is still assigned to me ^_
