----------------------------------

             Summary: Maven in 5 minutes - "mvn site" to be either elaborated 
or removed from intro page.
                 Key: MNGSITE-356
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNGSITE-356
             Project: Maven Project Web Site
          Issue Type: Improvement
         Environment: Windows
            Reporter: Perry Moen


Hello, 

The documentation for the Maven in 5 minutes eludes that one would be able to 
simply run mvn site from the command line and have it work out of the box, if 
they've been following the demo. Unfortunately, with out the maven-site-plugin 
updated in the POM this does not work. 

My suggestion would be to either quickly show where/how to copy paste a plugin 
and update the POM, or briefly mention what mvn site does, and link to the 
official documentation. 

Otherwise, remove the mvn site altogether from the maven in 5 minutes tutorial. 
A new comer to programming and maven might find this intro frustrating if they 
cannot get the demo to work with a simple follow along.

I am new to programming myself.. I would have found it useful to know.
