--------------------------------------
Thanks for the update, so we probably will need to wait for Maven 4.
> Support adding and overriding report plugins in new maven-site-plugin 3.x
> reportPlugins configuration format

> Key: MSITE-484
> URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MSITE-484
> Project: Maven Site Plugin
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: inheritance, Maven 3
> Affects Versions: 3.0-beta-1, 3.0-beta-2, 3.0-beta-3, 3.3
> Environment: 3.0-beta-1-SNAPSHOT
> Reporter: Michael Pilquist
> Assignee: Olivier Lamy
> Fix For: backlog

> When using the new configuration format for reportPlugins, it appears that
> there's no way to:
> - Add a report plugin to a submodule
> - Override the configuration of a report plugin in a submodule
> Using the old <reporting> section, both of these use cases were supported.
> For large, multi-module builds, it is problematic having to respecify all
> reporting plugins in any submodule pom that needs to either add an additional
> reporting plugin or change the configuration of a reporting plugin.
> Attached is a sample project that has a parent POM configured with
> project-info-reports and javadoc plugin and a submodule configured with jxr
> plugin and javadoc plugin. The relevant output is here:

> Looking at the maven-site-plugin code, it appears the the reportPlugins
> parameter is just a regular array parameter. AFAIK, there's no way to merge
> list configuration items. Other plugins have worked around this by defining
> additional mojo parameters (e.g., maven-eclipse-plugin and buildCommands /
> additionalBuildCommands --
> http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-eclipse-plugin/eclipse-mojo.html).
> This isn't the most flexible option though as it only solves 1 level
> inheritance.
