I am testing out the site plugin on a multi module project and the
module project's site is not getting a link back to the parent site.
I am using maven version...
Apache Maven 2.1.0 (r755702; 2009-03-18 14:10:27-0500)
Java version: 1.5.0_16
OS name: "mac os x" version: "10.5.7" arch: "i386" Family: "unix"
Site plugin version...
maven-site-plugin 2.0-beta-7
The basic directory structure is as follows..
parent
|_module1
| |_pom.xml
|_module2
| |_pom.xml
|_...
|_pom.xml
The parent pom is structured like...
<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0"; xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance
"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/maven-v4_0_0.xsd
">
<modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
<parent>
<groupId>my.company</groupId>
<artifactId>super-pom</artifactId>
<version>1.0</version>
</parent>
<groupId>com.mycompany.testproject</groupId>
<artifactId>testparent</artifactId>
<name>test parent</name>
<packaging>pom</packaging>
<version>1.0.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
...
<distributionManagement>
<site>
<id>testServer1</id>
<url>file:///var/www/html/</url>
</site>
</distributionManagement>
...
<modules>
<module>module1</module>
<module>module2</module>
...
</modules>
...
</project>
The pom for module1 is like...
<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0"; xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance
"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/maven-v4_0_0.xsd
">
<modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
<parent>
<groupId>com.mycompany.testproject</groupId>
<artifactId>testparent </artifactId>
<version>1.0.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
</parent>
<groupId>com.mycompany.testproject</groupId>
<artifactId>module1</artifactId>
<name>test module1</name>
<packaging>jar</packaging>
<version>1.0.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
...
</project>
The site.xml for module1 is as follows...
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/DECORATION/1.0.0";
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance";
xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/DECORATION/1.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/decoration-1.0.0.xsd
">
<body>
<menu ref="parent" />
<menu name="My Test project">
<item name="My XDoc Test" href="/myTest.html" />
</menu>
<menu ref="reports" />
</body>
</project>
After reading the docs I thought <menu ref="parent" /> would create a
link in module1's menu back to the parent site. Am I missing something
or is this just a bug in the site plugin?

Including Generated Content
There are several preset menus that can be used in the site descriptor
to include generated content from your project. These are:
reports - a menu with links to all the generated reports for your
project
parent - a menu with a link to the parent project's site
modules - a menu containing the links to the sites of the submodules
of this project
