'm trying to set up reporting plugin inheritance and not having any luck. I'm using Maven 2.0.9 on Java 1.6.0_07. Here is my problem:
parent/pom.xml has

<reporting>
    <plugins>
      <plugin>
        <artifactId>maven-javadoc-plugin</artifactId>
        <configuration>
          <silent>true</silent>
          <links>
            <link>parentLink</link>
          </links>
        </configuration>
      </plugin>
    </plugins>
  </reporting>

child/pom.xml has

<reporting>
    <plugins>
      <plugin>
        <artifactId>maven-javadoc-plugin</artifactId>
        <configuration>
          <links combine.children="append">
            <link>childLink</link>
          </links>
        </configuration>
      </plugin>
    </plugins>
  </reporting>

After installing the parent, mvn help:effective-pom for the child yeilds:

<reporting>
    <outputDirectory>target/site</outputDirectory>
    <plugins>
      <plugin>
        <artifactId>maven-javadoc-plugin</artifactId>
        <configuration>
          <links>
            <link>childLink</link>
          </links>
        </configuration>
      </plugin>
    </plugins>
  </reporting>

I expected it to look like:

<reporting>
    <outputDirectory>target/site</outputDirectory>
    <plugins>
      <plugin>
        <artifactId>maven-javadoc-plugin</artifactId>
        <configuration>
          <silent>true</silent>
          <links>
            <link>parentLink</link>
            <link>childLink</link>
          </links>
        </configuration>
      </plugin>
    </plugins>
  </reporting>

I'd be happy to make a test case for this if someone would point me in the right direction.
