如何覆盖父Maven项目中定义的插件

Question

Here's my project structure

- parent
   - sub-parent
      - sub-module-1
      - sub-module-2
   - module-1
   - module-2

Now, in the pom file of parent, I defined maven plugin in pluginManagement that could be used by module-1 and module-2. And in sub-parent, I also want to define this maven plugin in pluginManagement which is used by sub-module-1 and sub-module-2. But from what I see is that the plugin in sub-parent can not override that of parent. Could anyone help on how to override that ? Thanks

Answer 1

You can include both <pluginManagement> and <plugins> with the same configuration at the same time in your module-1 and module-2 in case you are willing to override specifically their plugin configuration.

Or else the plugin configuration by default would be overriding the behavior from the topmost pom.xml (bottom to top) where it finds the pluginManagement specified.
