I'm resending this because the formatting got butchered the first type.
Sorry for the duplicate.

I'm trying to use the new Maven 3 style of generating reports, but I'm
having problems with one in particular. I have some custom Checkstyle
checks, but I'm not able to add the dependency in the right spot to make
everything work. Here's part of my POM:
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-site-plugin</artifactId>
<version>3.0-beta-3</version>
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>[deleted]</groupId>
<artifactId>checkstyle</artifactId>
<version>${project.version}</version>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
<configuration>
<reportPlugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-checkstyle-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.8</version>
<configuration>
<configLocation>[deleted]/checkstyle.xml</configLocation>
</configuration>
</plugin>
</reportPlugins>
</configuration>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
In previous versions of Maven, I could add dependencies to the actual
report plugin, but not anymore. Adding the dependency to the
maven-site-plugin doesn't work since it's added to the wrong level of
the classloader. In this case two classloaders are created: 1)
maven-site-plugin, which is the parent classloader of 2)
maven-checkstyle-plugin. The Checkstyle JAR is added to (2), so by
adding my dependency to the the maven-site-plugin (1) things won't work
because it can't reference the Checkstyle types in (2). Adding the
Checkstyle JAR as an additional dependency doesn't work either since the
types from different classloaders are incompatible. There's no way of
adding the dependency such that it ends up in (2). I've tried
configuring the plugin under the pluginManagement section also, but that
seems to be ignored for the newest style.
I'm just wondering if this is even possible, or if I need to roll back
my reporting configurations to the older style until the newer one is
fixed up and functioning better.
