Dashboard plugin can't find XML files in non-standard location
--------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: MOJO-987
                 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MOJO-987
             Project: Mojo
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: dashboard
         Environment: windows
            Reporter: Lee Meador
            Priority: Minor


The FindBugs report xml, for example, can be optionally moved with

<xmlOutputDirectory>
      ${project.build.directory }/findbugs-reports
</xmlOutputDirectory>

which makes it so the dashboard can't find the XML file. That means no findbugs 
section will appear on the dashboard.

I suggest, minimally, that the docs be changed to reflect special 
considerations for consolidated reports that can have their XML moved. It might 
say something like:

Do not use the findbugs <xmlOutputDirectory>  config option if you want the 
dashboard to include the findbugs summary section.

A different solution, though it might take longer to do, would be to find the 
XML files even when they are moved. Maybe there is a way to get the config 
options from findbugs and look there.

Of course, there may be other reports summarized by the dashboard plugin that 
can have their xml files moved.
