[MNG-8467] maven.properties file documentation is not visible as an option to configure maven

[jira-importer]

Lenny Primak opened MNG-8467 and commented

Although there is some documentation about the properties that go into the maven.properties file, there is no documentation that maven.properties can be used to configure maven, where to put the file, what the processing precedence is, and even that there is an option to put that file somewhere.

In other words, google "maven.properties" and it comes up with nothing.

Some material:
all config options are now generated here:
https://maven.apache.org/ref/4-LATEST/maven-configuration.html

Loading can be seen here:

Just to clarify, there is no docs that maven.properties is a "thing", there is documentation on what's in it.

I will change the description

Yup, we are aware of it. I just posted stuff that can be used to write up something about it.

Also, [https://maven.apache.org/ref/4-LATEST/maven-configuration.html] in rc-2 says maven.consumer.pom=true as the default, and it’s actually false True is what I would like it to be though.

The mentioned property is true (as documented), but is applied only if build model is 4.1.0, as 4.0.0 model is not transformed.

It's there: https://maven.apache.org/ref/4-LATEST/configuring.html
Though there may be no link to access it :-)

Great!

I have changed the title to reflect this. I guess a link is needed to make it visible, otherwise looks good.
