Description

At the moment the plugins configured in the reportPlugins section inherit only the version specified in the pluginManagement section as described in https://cwiki.apache.org/MAVEN/maven-3x-and-site-plugin.html#Maven3.xandsiteplugin-VersionResolution .

Additional configuration (for example, configuration for maven-javadoc-plugin) is effectively should be entered twice - once in either build/pluginManagement/plugins or build/plugins to be used by the usual build process, and once in the build/plugins/maven-site-plugin/configuration/reportPlugins to be used by the site generation.

Please, consider possibility for reportPlugins to inherit the same amount of configuration from the pluginManagement as is being inherited by usual build plugins.
