Plugin-info.html not created for Maven site

Question

I have a custom Maven plugin for which I want to create a website. The sole purpose of this site is to automatically document available plugin goals. However, when I run mvn clean site , the plugin-info.html never generated.

Given that the packaging for this maven-plugin module, I assumed that this would be automatically created by the site plugin. I looked at the target site plugin to see if it needs to be explicitly “turned on”, but found something. Is there something I am missing that will lead to the creation of the info.html plugin?

I use:

• Maven 3.0.3
• maven-site-plugin 3.0

After some debugging, I made a problem with jira at http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MPLUGIN-191 . The description contains a workaround that I found to fix this problem.
