> To create an "external" report for maven, we have the method public boolean isExternalReport() return true in an AbstractMavenReport subclass or MavenReport implementation.  The name of this html file is given by the method getOutputName().
> I don't think an external report should need to generate this empty html file just so the Maven site sidebar for reports has a target to link to.  In more than once instance, the generation of this empty html file has disrupted the creation of the external report's html intro page of the same name.
> Check out and install the attached project to your local repository, then add it as a reporting plugin to some other project and run the site phase.  Note that target/site/empty_report.html has been created for this external report.
