    <p>My question comes from wanting to run javadoc:aggregate for all projects except one, where I want to run javadoc:javadoc (because this one project has a sub-module that needs to use the sourcepath setting in its maven-javadoc-plugin config, as it has generated code as well as source).</p> <p>And as I understand it there is a bug which means that the sourcepath setting is ignored if you run the aggregate goal. I tried it myself and it did not work and I found: <a href="http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MJAVADOC-311" rel="nofollow">http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MJAVADOC-311</a></p> <p>I have a parent POM which defines the plugin config:</p> <pre><code>&lt;properties&gt; &lt;javadoc-goal&gt;aggregate&lt;/javadoc-goal&gt; &lt;properties&gt; </code></pre> <p>i.e.</p> <pre><code>&lt;plugin&gt; &lt;groupId&gt;org.apache.maven.plugins&lt;/groupId&gt; &lt;artifactId&gt;maven-javadoc-plugin&lt;/artifactId&gt; &lt;executions&gt; &lt;execution&gt; &lt;id&gt;generate-javadoc&lt;/id&gt; &lt;phase&gt;package&lt;/phase&gt; &lt;goals&gt; &lt;goal&gt;${javadoc-goal}&lt;/goal&gt; &lt;/goals&gt; &lt;configuration&gt; ... &lt;/configuration&gt; &lt;/execution&gt; &lt;/executions&gt; &lt;/plugin&gt; </code></pre> <p>Then I have several projects which inherit from this project. The one where I need to run javadoc instead of aggregate would define:</p> <pre><code>&lt;javadoc-goal&gt;javadoc&lt;/javadoc-goal&gt; </code></pre> <p>and its sub-module would define its sourcepath:</p> <pre><code>&lt;reporting&gt; &lt;plugins&gt; &lt;plugin&gt; &lt;groupId&gt;org.apache.maven.plugins&lt;/groupId&gt; &lt;artifactId&gt;maven-javadoc-plugin&lt;/artifactId&gt; &lt;configuration&gt; &lt;sourcepath&gt;${basedir}/src/main/java:${basedir}/src/generated/java&lt;/sourcepath&gt; &lt;/configuration&gt; ... &lt;/plugin&gt; &lt;/plugins&gt; &lt;/reporting&gt; </code></pre> <p>I am guessing that the answer to my question is no, because when I try and install my parent POM it looks like it is treating the variable as a literal, which I found weird because you can use them in so many other places:</p> <pre><code>[ERROR] BUILD ERROR [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [INFO] '${javadoc-goal}' was specified in an execution, but not found in the plugin </code></pre> <p>If I cannot do this, any ideas for working around this problem?</p>

    1. COOk, so I solved this by defining everything except the plugin goal in the parent POM, then defined the appropriate goal (javadoc or aggregate) in the project POM. Should I delete this question as it no longer requires an answer?

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
