Hi David,
I do not understand what you say.
As describe in the documentation :
http://mojo.codehaus.org/dashboard-maven-plugin/custom_multi_config.html
to share the config for each module, instead of set dashboard and checkstyle
configuration files in each module,
in your multi-module, you create a new project that i name it "build-tools" ,
if you want, you can name it as "toto"
it's the same mechanism as checkstyle or assembly plugins to share config file
for all modules.
in the src\main\resource, you can put a Checkstyle xml config file which
contains only your rules.
And if the default dashboard config doesn't suit your need , you can create
your own that you set in the src\main\resources
you declare this new project as module of your project in your top level
pom.xml. and you configure the dashboard as describe in the html page
During the install phase, this jar will be built and set in the repository and
can be use as dependency of the dashboard.
That's all.
This feature suit only multi-module project which use specific checkstyle
configuration file or specific dashboard configuration file.
It's not an obligation to do this for a multi-module project.
Checkstyle plugin and Dashboard plugin come with a default configuration which
can suit your need.
To test the dashboard :
setup your top level pom.xml as descibed in :
http://mojo.codehaus.org/dashboard-maven-plugin/usage.html
to add historic feature, setup your top-level pom.xml as :
http://mojo.codehaus.org/dashboard-maven-plugin/usage_historic.html
The problem you described, which is not a bug, can arrive only if you want a
specific dashboard config to display more historic graphs.
i hope this post resolve your problem
