Multimodule site problem

Anyone know how to keep a common menu in a multi-module site? It  
seems easy enough, but it doesn't work quite right in the ways that  
I've tried. For instance,

         <menu name="Dictateur">
             <item name="Introduction" href="/index.html"/>
             <item name="Install" href="/install.html"/>
             <item name="Downloads" href="download.html"/>
         </menu>

is defined in the parent site.xml. There are no site.xml's for any of  
the modules (I know - if I define one, I can get around this problem  
by creating relative links, but it would be all duplicate info). This  
menu works fine as long as I'm at the parent level of the site. If I  
navigate to a module, the menu is still there, but the links are all  
relative to the module now, rather than to the parent where it was  
defined, so of course are not found. I've tried with and without a  
slash, as well as using the inherit attribute, and they all give the  
same result. Is there any way to make this menu work properly in the  
module sites (other than creating a module-specific site.xml)?

mvn site:stage -DstagingDirectory=/tmp

Thanks,

J

Re: Multimodule site problem

So I'm going to take it then that the answer is no - to prevent a  
broken site, when built from the parent, you must supply each module  
with it's own site.xml.

Or is this a bug?

Thanks,

J
