Yes.
The changes plugins all assume that the project is the thing the changelog
is generated for. If you are simply attaining the report goal, do that for
the project that was just checked out. there is a maven tag to do this.
See http://maven.apache.org/tags.html#maven:maven.
So in the parent maven.xml, add xmlns:maven="jelly:maven" to your
<project>, and then do:
<maven descriptor="${basedir}/target/checkouts/projectname/project.xml"
goals="..." />
