Ok, so I am trying to use version 3.0-beta-3 and Maven is acting so 
inconsistently I can't make any sense of what's going on. 


When I execute `mvn site` I see the following which indicates Maven is not 
getting the correct version of the plugin.


     [INFO] --- maven-site-plugin:2.1:site (default-site) @ ferris-bible-jmce 
---

When I grep through `mvn help:effective-pom` I see the wrong version number...

       <plugin>
         <artifactId>maven-site-plugin</artifactId>
         <version>2.1</version>
         <executions>
           <execution>
             <phase>prepare-package</phase>
             <goals>
           </goals>
         </execution>
       </executions>
     </plugin>

But when I execute `mvn help:describe -Dplugin=site` it shows the correct 
version!!!

     Group Id: org.apache.maven.plugins
     Artifact Id: maven-site-plugin
     Version: 3.0-beta-3

This is completely frustrating and I have no idea what's going on.

Any other thoughts?

Note that maven-site-plugin 2.1 is not compatible with Maven 3. Please
use version 3.0-beta-3.

This is a standard error message in Maven 3. It occurs when Maven is
building a project and cannot find the parent of the project using
<parent> / <relativePath>. See
