Description

in general, site is generated in a mvn run separate from initial build:

mvn install
mvn site

what I expect is that the mvn site command reuse packaged artifacts from mvn install (or even mvn package)

but that's not what happens, and I can't tell it's a bug: AFAIK, there is no feature in Maven for the site phase to reuse

the result is unfortunate in multi-module builds with dependencies inside the reactor: Dependencies Files Details display xxx/target/classes instead of xxx-version.jar

see real world example: http://maven.apache.org/wagon-archives/wagon-2.8/wagon-providers/wagon-file/dependencies.html#Dependency_File_Details wagon-provider-api/target/classes
