Maven 2.0.4 - multi module reporting

[Jan Vissers <Ja...@cumquat.nl>]

I'm evaluating maven 2.0.4 and am wondering what the current 'state' is 
for multi module reporting. I've read that there are various issues with 
it. What I like to know is:

* does multi module reporting (aggregation) work for:
         - surefire
         - checkstyle
         - jdepend
         - javancss
         - cobertura
         - pmd
         - jxr
        

* what are potential issues that I might have when performing reports on 
multi module projects?

Thanks.

I know that you can aggregate the jxr reports across all the children
projects of one parent.

Last time I tried the JavaDocs aggregation almost worked but ultimately
failed due to failure to set up the classpath correctly.

I'm pretty sure cobertura doesn't aggregate yet. I could be wrong.

Someone else will have to comment on your other plugins.

Well... this has been a journey, which appears to have become a deception.
My conclusions after a day trying to figure the reporting (surefire, 
checkstyle, jdepend, javancss,
cobertua, pmd, jxr, changes, changelog) are:

   * multi-module reporting 'out-of-the-box' isn't behaving properly,
         the module links don't show up, so there is no easy way to
         navigate to these locations - where in fact several reports have
         been generated.

   * trying to overcome this issue by setting a staging area for the site,
         only results in several aggregation reports (javadoc/jxr) not being
         populated correctly.

   * report aggregation for multi-module projects is a pain in the ...
         various reports use different ways, to (try) to set aggregation
         only a few actually manage to succeed. In my opinion report
         aggregation for multi-module projects should work straight away.
         Looks like PMD reporting has got the basic idea, in that it 
searches
         for modules for aggregation are automatically performed - but
         maven's behavior gets in the way.

I'll be continuing my tests for maven 2.0.4, next time for basic building
specifics like; install, package, deploy, release.

If anybody has some more information about the multi module reporting status
and how (soon) things will get better - I would definitely like to know!

Thanks,
Jan.
