Description

Getting several errors similar to

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-site-plugin:3.8.2:site (default-site) on project commons-imaging: Error generating javancss-maven-plugin:2.1:report report: Parsing error while executing JavaNCSS 33.54 ParseException in /home/kinow/Development/java/apache/commons-imaging/src/main/java/org/apache/commons/imaging/formats/tiff/TiffElement.java

When building the project with `mvn clean site`.

Looking at the maven plugin page, its bug tracking link is broken, the development mailing list has low activity. So not a lot going on, and looks like others had similar error, though I couldn't find any solution.

Had a look at Commons Lang but it doesn't appear to be using NCSS. Upgraded to the latest commons-parent, but the issue still persists.

Removing ncss from the pom.xml everything builds fine. So keen to remove it unless there are any objections.
