Multi-Module Maven with github pages
Motivation
The issues
led to the creation of the example project:
- https://github.com/BITPlan/com.bitplan.multimodule which uses
- https://github.com/BITPlan/com.bitplan.pom for the parent pom definition
in which the github maven site plugin is defined with the configuration
<!-- git hub site plugin https://github.com/github/maven-plugins -->
<plugin>
<groupId>com.github.github</groupId>
<artifactId>site-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>${site-maven-plugin.version}</version>
<configuration>
<message>Creating site for ${github.owner} ${github.project}
${project.version}</message>
<repositoryName>${github.project}</repositoryName> <!-- github repo name -->
<repositoryOwner>${github.owner}</repositoryOwner> <!-- github username -->
</configuration>
<executions>
<execution>
<goals>
<goal>site</goal>
</goals>
<phase>site</phase>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
Following the suggestion of https://stackoverflow.com/a/19336536/1497139 led to adding
<distributionManagement>
<site>
<id>${project.artifactId}-site</id>
<url>${project.baseUri}</url>
</site>
</distributionManagement>
to the parent pom.xml
mvn clean site
... wait a long while ...
[INFO] Multi-Module ....................................... SUCCESS [04:22 min]
[INFO] Multi-Module 1 ..................................... SUCCESS [04:09 min]
[INFO] Multi-Module 2 ..................................... SUCCESS [04:09 min]
[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------
[INFO] BUILD SUCCESS
[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------
[INFO] Total time: 12:42 min
and you end up with Module 2 overriding the results of the Multi-Module and Module 1 results
Is it a bug or a feature?
Whats the work-around?
mvn -U clean install site
