Sorry, I am just in the mood for biling. I warned the boss before this job and he would not hear. So I thought "OK, maybe the big ones writing the blogs cannot handle maven... Here I come...". I spent most of the time trying out things, searching reported bugs and looking into plugin.jellies because there was outdated documentation (if any). E.g. xdoc: I found out by trial & error how to create a custom site navigation... . It is absurd: Maven is a tool to automate and disburden project documentation. But it seems to proove itself that it leads to deterioration of the quality of project documentation. Here it is property: failureProperty="maven.test.failure" Undocumented. But maybe someone wants to send an email in case of a failure or error only (and not always like cron would do). And while you are at it: Please pleas add errorProperty="maven.test.error" Sorry for the rant... I am just pissed by loosing so much time over and over... Achim
