Description

Consider the following POM:

<!-- ... ... -->
<!-- ... ... -->
<build>
    <pluginManagement>
        <plugin>
            <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
            <artifactId>maven-javadoc-plugin</artifactId>
            <configuration>
            <author>false</author>
            </configuration>
        </plugin>
    </pluginManagement>
</build>
<!-- ... ... -->
<!-- ... ... -->
<reporting>
    <plugins>
        <plugin>
            <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
            <artifactId>maven-javadoc-plugin</artifactId>
        </plugin>
    </plugins>
</reporting>
<!-- ... ... -->

mvn site:site doesn't honor the javadoc configuration specified in the <pluginManagement/> section.
However, mvn javadoc:javadoc honors them.

This is true not just for javadoc but other plugins like checkstyle as well.

I guess, the <reporting/> section doesn't use the <pluginManagement/> section at all.
