Multi module POM - creating a site that works

Question

I have a multi module application, and I’m trying to generate a Maven site for this app.

I have an aggregating POM that holds all the child modules, an inheritance PO

Answer 1

I my case adding the below section to the top pom resolved the problem:

  
    struts-site
    https://struts.apache.org/maven/
  

Right now using the below command it will generate the whole page under target/staging:

./mvnw clean site site:stage

I'm using such plugin configuration:

org.apache.maven.plugins
maven-site-plugin
3.9.0

  false

Please be aware that you must also define site.xml for each submodule as menus are not inherited.
