Description

When the site reports are created with Maven 3, the Checkstyle plugin doesn't generate the links to the Source Xref pages, when the JXR Plugin hasn't been executed before.

The plugin looks for the xrefLocation directory and if it doesn't exist, it checks if the JXR plugin is configured for the project (see http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-checkstyle-plugin/xref/org/apache/maven/plugin/checkstyle/CheckstyleReport.html#670). To properly generate the Xref links when the report is created with Maven 3, the plugin should also check the reportPlugins paramerter of the Site plugin configuration.
