Explain reporting plugin version automatic selection (in Maven 3)

Details

    Description

      reporting plugin version looks like normal version = you need to define a version for build stability https://maven.apache.org/ref/3.8.4/maven-model/maven.html#class_reporting

      in Maven 2, it did not even benefit from pluginManagement version selection

      but since Maven 3 MNG-4162, it benefits not only from pluginManagement version but also from plugin: we need to make that clear, because versions of report plugins are a pain for users who don't know about this, because it force them to define a property that will be used both in pluginManagement/plugin and reporting

      and since Maven Site Plugin 3.4, it also benefits from pluginManagement configuration
