Hi, thanks for your reply. The automatic reporting is not that important for me. More important is the independency from the build configuration that is done within the aggregator pom. In other words, building the project with all its modules is one thing, creating the website containing the project (or parts of it, or multiple versions built by using different profiles) is more important for me. If I need parts of the automatic reporting, I could create the site for the projects too and collect them during the website build. But this would require to configure the site generation equal to the website. (I use the Reflow Maven Skin for example)
So what I need is a site generation where I have the flexibility to choose some artifacts manually instead of using the artifacts. And it would be great only to configure the site generating project, not the included artifacts/modules. I know that it could be done easily with parent poms, but this is very invasive IMHO.
