Description

There is a multimodule flat project structure:
root
module1
module2

module1 has an artifactID of 'module1' (same as directory name)
modulu2 has an artifactID of 'module-2' (different to directory name)

After a 'mvn site-deploy' the generated report has the folder structure:
/root
/root/module-2
/module1

So based on the artifactID the submodules are created as a child of the root - or not.
This is at least inconsistent and should be changed to be handled always the same - independent of the artifactID.

This is also important for other plugins (i.e. the dashboard plugin).
They seem to have some hardcoded directory structure (preferring submodules as childs of the root report).
Due to this bug (see http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MOJO-1630) the links between reports there still don't work as long as artifactID=module's directory.

Attached you will find a testcase (based on maven3, but can also be used with maven2 when the version of the site-plugin is changed).
