What is the proper way to use Cobertura with Maven 3.0.2

I have been trying unsuccessfully for the last few days to run Cobertura 2.4 with Maven 3.0.2. We have a very large project with many modules (sub-projects). What I found is

Answer 1

In maven 3.0.3 (not yet out when you asked the question), simply use maven's site plug-in and configure it such that it uses cobertura, as follows:

    
        
            org.apache.maven.plugins
            maven-site-plugin
            3.0
            
                
                    
                        org.codehaus.mojo
                        cobertura-maven-plugin
                        2.5.1
                        
                            
                                html
                                xml
