Hervé Boutemy updated MSITE-690:
--------------------------------
    Description: 
AFAICT, maven builds a site by relying on other plugins to generate files in a 
specific HTML format. For example, the PMD and Checkstyle plugins generate 
reports that include references to {{@import url("./css/maven-base.css");}} and 
{{$\{project.version} }}. The site plugin then post-processes these files to do 
three things:
(a) add the css files,
(b) convert references like ${project.version}
(c) add in a generated menu structure with relative links

Propose adding a new goal "process-reports" that performs steps (a) and (b) 
only. Instead of generating the index structure in step (c), it would simply 
remove the index and header parts of the HTML file to create a simple 
*standalone* HTML file.

The aim of this improvement is to allow valid complete HTML files to be created 
without the rest of the generated site (with the complications of relative 
links). This goal would simply run in each project of the multi-module build 
independently, processing the resources it finds locally.

Users wanting a checkstyle report could then run "mvn clean 
checkstyle:checkstyle-aggregator site:process-reports". Today, "mvn clean 
checkstyle:checkstyle-aggregator" works OK but produces half-complete HTML 
files.
