And I have been talking about this for years but have admittedly done
nothing yet. But I believe the direction to go is to make some example data
generators that can be used by tools to display the information. I think the
site plugin has just grown into completely the wrong thing. It's generally
terrible at generating standard doco as things like Jekyll just destroy it in
terms of usability and community. Insofar as reporting it's just too invasive
and it needs to be fully extracted from Maven's core so Maven can evolve. A
personal goal is to entirely remove site/reporting logic from Maven's core in
4.x. This does not mean I want to wreck reporting but to create a facility that
allow reporting tools to get at the data it needs to produce the reports that
users expect.
