I have upgraded from Maven 2 to Maven 3 and it seems to be working fine to clean install
.
However, in the Maven 3.x Compatibility Notes, it is mentioned that the <reporting>
tag is no longer supported and should be moved up to the <build>
tag.
<reporting>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-project-info-reports-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.1</version>
<reportSets>
<reportSet>
<reports>
<report>dependencies</report>
<report>dependency-convergence</report>
<report>dependency-management</report>
<report>index</report>
<report>plugin-management</report>
<report>project-team</report>
<report>license</report>
<report>summary</report>
</reports>
</reportSet>
</reportSets>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</reporting>
I have commented this out and moved the plugin tag and its content, to the <build><plugins>
tag.
When I run mvn validate
now, I get the following error:
[ERROR] The build could not read 1 project -> [Help 1]
[ERROR]
[ERROR] The project com.company.projectName:ProjectName:1.2 (C:\Svn\projectName\branches\projectName-1.2\System\4_ImplementationSet\WAS\src\pom.xml) has 1 error

Am I missing something? I could just leave things as they are, but I gave it a try to move it, but it did not work.
Try:
(untested; I'm not sure about the reportSets-part)
It is not simply a matter of copying the tag to a different place. The schema has changed in other ways too.
I suggest that you read the documentation for "Maven 3 only" configuration, since that's what you seem to be trying to do. Here's a link.
