What's the purpose of the Maven 3 ciManagement configuration?

I've read the section in the Maven documentation, but I haven't really seen any evidence of plugins using the <ciManagement> tag in a project POM.

My question is:

  • Are there CI systems that will use this information in some intelligent way?
  • Other than project self-documentation, is there any other benefit to specifying and maintaining this information in my project POM?
  • Does Maven itself (or any common plugins) use this information?
Solution

  • for documentation sample http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-compiler-plugin/integration.html

    Historically this element was used by continuum for more details see http://maven.apache.org/ref/3.0.4/maven-model/maven.html#class_ciManagement it was possible to define the pom notifiers (mail,irc) and where to send notification.
