> AFAICT, maven builds a site by relying on other plugins to generate files in a specific HTML format. For example, the PMD and Checkstyle plugins generate reports that include references to {{@import url("./css/maven-base.css");}} and "$\{project.version}". The site plugin then post-processes these files to do three things:
> (a) add the css files,
> (b) convert references like $\{project.version}
> (c) add in a generated menu structure with relative links
> Propose adding a new goal "process-reports" that performs steps (a) and (b) only. Instead of generating the index structure in step (c), it would simply remove the index and header parts of the HTML file to create a simple *standalone* HTML file.
> The aim of this improvement is to allow valid complete HTML files to be created without the rest of the generated site (with the complications of relative links). This goal would simply run in each project of the multi-module build independently, processing the resources it finds locally.
> Users wanting a checkstyle report could then run "mvn clean checkstyle:checkstyle-aggregator site:process-reports". Today, "mvn clean checkstyle:checkstyle-aggregator" works OK but produces half-complete HTML files.
