According to: * http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-site-plugin/examples/configuring-reports.html * http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-checkstyle-plugin/usage.html * http://mojo.codehaus.org/findbugs-maven-plugin/usage.html * http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-pmd-plugin/usage.html
and possibly others, I need to add reporting plugins to the <reporting> element of my POM. When I do this and run mvn clean site, I see a lovely web site but none of the reports. If I instead take the plugins from the <reporting> and put them as plugins of the maven-site-plugin, they all burst to life. Indeed, I can remove the <reporting> element and nothing is apparently lost. So, can anyone explain what's happening? Thanks, James
