[LICENSE} non-generation of the license.xml file

The following jelly script fragment from with the license POM does not 
appear to be doing what it is intended to do.  Under Maven R8 the 
license.xml generation appears to be broken.  No license.xml file if 
generated for the case of either valid license declaration or the null 
license declaration.

 From license POM plugin.jelly:

      <doc:text-xdoc
        title="Project License"
        section="Project License"
        output="${genDocs}/license.xml"
        inputFile="${licenseFile}"/>

For reference - this feature was working in R7.

Cheers, Steve.

The license plugin was disabled at one point due to some problems
encountered by James Strachan (I believe).  In any case, Ben just
turned this back on a within the past couple of days.

More news - it appears that the license pom was executed by default 
under R7 but is not executed under R8.  The workaround for this that I 
have employed is to include the following in my maven.xml:

  <preGoal name="site">
    <attainGoal name="license"/>
  </preGoal>

Can anyone confirm is the "site" target is the most appropriate per-goal 
target to reference?

Cheers, Steve.
