The sandbox plugins probably don't have relativePath set correctly (it's not really possible given the checkout structure) so they are getting the parent from the repository, whereas the others get it from ../pom.xml. I'm guessing the parent hasn't been deployed recently, so I'll do that now...

Hi all

I've been working on a couple of plugins with documentation and documentation review. One thing differs when running mvn site for a normal plugin versus a plugin in the sandbox.

For a normal plugin, like maven-javadoc-plugin, you get 4 Project Reports:
* JavaDocs
* Plugin documentation
* Source Xref
* Test Source Xref

This is all well, the reports being inherited from
  org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-plugins:2-SNAPSHOT

For a sandbox plugin, like maven-changes-plugin, you get 11 Project Reports:
* Changes Report [1]
* Checkstyle [2]
* Cobertura Test Coverage [2]
* JavaDocs
* Jira Report [1]
* Maven Surefire Report [2]
* Plugin documentation
* PMD Report [2]
* Source Xref
* Tag List [2]
* Test Source Xref

Two of them are configured in the plugin itself [1], making it a total of 9 inherited Project Reports. The other 5 extra reports [2] are, well extra, but they do appear in the parents parent:
  org.apache.maven:maven-parent:2

This is when thing turn weird: both plugins inherit from the same parent! The only thing I can think of that differs is that maven-javadoc-plugin is a module in the parent POM but maven-changes-plugin is not.

However they got there I have found a configuration error regarding the checkstyle plugin. It's not configured at all, meaning tons of errors in any Maven source file, because it defaults to using sun_checks instead of maven_checks. Shouldn't this be configured in the Maven parent POM?
