maven site unpack error

I have a multi module maven project. If I run

mvn clean install

everything works fine. But if I run:

mvn site

I get the following error:

[INFO] --- maven-dependency-plugin:2.4:unpack (copy-war) @ module2 ---
[INFO] Configured Artifact: com.example:module1:1.0-SNAPSHOT:war
Unpacking path\2\module1\target\classes to path\2\module2\target\module1 with includes "" and excludes ""
org.codehaus.plexus.archiver.ArchiverException: The source must not be a directory.

With mvn clean install at the same point I get:

[INFO] --- maven-dependency-plugin:2.4:unpack (copy-war) @ module2 ---
[INFO] Configured Artifact: com.example:module1:1.0-SNAPSHOT:war
[INFO] Unpacking path\2\module1\target\module1-1.0-SNAPSHOT.war to path\2\module2\target\module1 with includes "" and excludes ""

and everything works fine.

Any idea why the dependency plugin wants to unpack a directory instead of a war?

This is indeed a long standing (since 2007!) bug in maven-dependency-plugin. Have a look at the MDEP-98 JIRA issue for a discussion and possible workarounds.

I found a workaround. I disabled the site plugin for that module:

        <plugin>
            <artifactId>maven-site-plugin</artifactId>
            <configuration>
                <generateReports>false</generateReports>
            </configuration>
        </plugin>

I think the comand fails due to a bug in the site plugin.
