parent/pom.xml build/plugins should reference plugins defined build/pluginManagement ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Key: JBIDE-17281 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-17281 Project: Tools (JBoss Tools) Issue Type: Enhancement Components: build Affects Versions: 4.2.0.Beta2 Reporter: Denis Golovin Assignee: Denis Golovin Priority: Optional Fix For: 4.4.x The Idea is to move all what we have in build/plugins to build/pluginManagement and leave only plugins with groupId and artifactid in build/plugins. It would let to do further clean up and reduce clutter in jbosstools modules like: - remove <version>${tychoVersion}</version> - move jacoco plugin to tests/pom.xml - move update site manipulations to site/pom.xml - move ant task runner configuration to parent/pom.xml#pluginManagement node for easy reuse - etc.
