Description

We have defined maven-site-plugin:attach-descriptor in build/plugins

It cause to every ASF projects have execute this goals - but it is only needed for parents pom and only in case when parent want to publish site descriptor.

In child projects such task is not needed.

Each ASF project should manage it and add this only in place where is needed, with inherited set to false, as example:

<plugin>
  <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
  <artifactId>maven-site-plugin</artifactId>
  <inherited>false</inherited>
  <executions>
    <execution>
      <id>attach-descriptor</id>
      <goals>
        <goal>attach-descriptor</goal>
      </goals>
    </execution>
  </executions>
</plugin>

After removing from ASF parent we can simplify next step of releasing ASF parent - special manually maintained documentation layout.
