Maven Site Staging from multiple POM in Several Modules

Question

I have a project with 5 modules with sub-projects.

Project
   - Module1
        -pom.xml
        --sub-proj1
            -pom.xml

   - Module2
        -pom.xml
        --sub-proj2
            -pom.xml

   - Module3
        -pom.xml
        --sub-proj3
            -pom.xml

   - Module4
        -pom.xml
        --sub-proj4
            -pom.xml

   - Module5
        -pom.xml
        --sub-proj5
            -pom.xml

mvn site command creates the site directories under each module. I want to stage it inside one common directory.

 <site>
   <id>${project.artifactId}-site</id>
   <url>./</url>
 </site>

The above configuration says that the absolute path has to be provided . So when i provided absolute path , the site gets pushed to the parent project /target/staging .

The problem I am facing is that index.html and other main .html of parent project(Module1) is being replaced by other parent links so only the last parent project index.html is found in the directory where site is generated . How can I fix it / specify a proper path for the site directories ?

Also how can I aggregate all the reports like javadocs, corbetura etc into one primary report.

Answer 1

You should try creating a parent pom (under project ) and when you run the mvn site from there which should solve the issue.

Add this only to your parent pom

<site>
     <id>${project.artifactId}-site</id>
     <url>./</url>
</site>
