Built by Maven

site:attach-descriptor

Full name:

org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-site-plugin:4.0.0-M4:attach-descriptor

Description:

Adds the site descriptor (site.xml) to the list of files to be installed/deployed.

For Maven-2.x this is enabled by default only when the project has pom packaging since it will be used by modules inheriting, but this can be enabled for other projects packaging if needed.

This default execution has been removed from the built-in lifecycle of Maven 3.x for pom-projects. Users that actually use those projects to provide a common site descriptor for sub modules will need to explicitly define this goal execution to restore the intended behavior.

Attributes:

  • Requires a Maven project to be executed.
  • The goal is thread-safe and supports parallel builds.
  • Since version: 2.0.
  • Binds by default to the lifecycle phase: package.

Optional Parameters

User property is: locales.
<pomPackagingOnly> boolean 3.0 Attach site descriptor only if packaging is pom.
