problem running "mvn site"

Question

When I try to run "mvn site" lifecycle, I get the following error

WARNING] The POM for org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-site-plugin:jar:2.0.1 is invalid, transitive dependencies (if any) will not be available, enable debug logging for more details

I tried using the 3.0-beta-3 version of the site plugin instead, but I get similar results. I've no idea where to start with this, so any help would be much appreciated

Answer 1

It looks like you're hitting a bug in doxia 1.0, you're using a pretty old version of the maven site plugin that has a dependency on this defective version of doxia.

Try specifying the version for the maven-site-plugin as 2.3.
