Description

When "mvn site" is run on the project attached Maven twice complains that "'reporting.plugins.plugin.version' for org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-project-info-reports-plugin is missing", while the documentation on http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-site-plugin/maven-3.html clearly states that "When used with Maven 3, a report plugin version can be empty (like build plugins)."

The plugin version actually used seems to be the one specified in the pluginManagement section of the parent POM, though.
