Maven 1.x Announcement Plugin

Plugin causes site to fail during processing of xdoc plugin's downloads.jelly

Component/s:

None

Affects Version/s:

1.4.1

Fix Version/s:

None

Time Tracking:

Not Specified

Environment:

Windows XP, Maven 1.1-RC1, Plugin version 1.4.2

Description

« Hide

The xdoc plugin calls <attainGoal name="announcement:generate-all"/> during it's generation of reports from the POM.

This causes announcement:check-version to run and fail, if a project has a currentVersion not listed in the versions stanza.

This is very common, especially with x.y-SNAPSHOT as the currentVersion.

Use maven.announcement.lenient=true, see ~~MPANNOUNCEMENT-19~~.

This can be fixed by providing

maven.announcement.lenient=true

But, still, ~~MPANNOUNCEMENT-19~~ is a compatibility-breaking change.

Why is breaking compatibility acceptable?
Why not default it to true and allow those that want the feature to set it to false?

I personally don't see the reasoning. Got an email discussion thread for me to read up on the history?

This was done before I joined the Maven team, I don't know the history. I was not aware of a compatibility problem though, Felipe's comments at ~~MPANNOUNCEMENT-19~~ seem to indicate that he took care of that. I'll check.

Confirming that a build succeeds with m1.0.2 (announcement-plugin-1.3), but fails with 11rc1 if lenient is not set.

I don't feel like fixing this for m11-final though, I'd just document it as a compat problem...
