First one requires to override goals, second binds two plugins: site and multiproject. Before proposing my solution - which I hope will be the temporary one - I thought about both options and I have chosen the one which was subjectively less harmful. > As a more general case, perhaps we should have: > maven.multiproject.type=multiproject > I am already using it and for example multiproject:install goal works pretty fine. > and flip that to multiproject:site automatically.

You will do something like: maven install maven site maven idea and those goals will render different results in the context of "normal" project and "multiproject" project. That's why I am not in favour of putting the new functionality into multiproject plugin. I'd prefer to have it decentralized. And imo it is better to ask users to put the functionality and behaviour which is not yet standardized into scripts then to ask them to use plugins which are simply bad as this usually serves as an example of a contract between plugins and will be spread. As the comment to discussion between Vincent and Jason regarding aggregation of reports (whish is loosly connected to that) I will also add that it will be interesting to see also transitive (multilevel) aggregation of results.
