Failure building site using base pom and properties

[Aaron Zeckoski <aa...@vt.edu>]

I have a base pom that defines properties as shown below:
(https://source.sakaiproject.org/contrib/caret/entitybroker/trunk/pom.xml)

<project>
   <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
   <name>Sakai Entity Broker</name>
   <groupId>${eb.groupId}</groupId>
   <artifactId>${eb.id}</artifactId>
   <packaging>pom</packaging>
....
   <properties>
      <eb.id>entitybroker</eb.id>
      <eb.groupId>org.sakaiproject</eb.groupId>
      <eb.version>M2</eb.version>
   </properties>
   <version>${eb.version}</version>
....
   <modules>
      <module>api</module>
      <module>impl</module>
      <module>tool</module>
      <module>pack</module>
   </modules>
....

When I do a "mvn clean install" this builds the project and deploys it
to the local repository correctly. However, when I do "mvn site" I get
a failure. I do not get this failure if I remove the properties and
hardcode all the values in the base pom and the 4 other module poms.
Has anyone else seen this? Does anyone know how to correct it?

Any suggestions would be great.
