Description

During running maven-plugin-plugin:report the following exception occurs:

Caused by: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/maven/doxia/module/xhtml/decoration/render/RenderingContext
	at org.apache.maven.reporting.sink.SinkFactory.createSink(SinkFactory.java:59)

After some debugging it seams to me that the cause is the version of maven-reporting-impl dependency which is now 2.0.5. I made it work with the following snippet in my pom.xml:

			<plugin>
				<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
				<artifactId>maven-plugin-plugin</artifactId>
				<version>2.9</version>
				<executions>
					<execution>
						<id>report</id>
						<phase>pre-site</phase>
						<goals>
							<goal>report</goal>
						</goals>
					</execution>
				</executions>
				<dependencies>
					<dependency>
						<groupId>org.apache.maven.reporting</groupId>
						<artifactId>maven-reporting-impl</artifactId>
						<version>2.2</version>
					</dependency>
				</dependencies>
			</plugin>

After this setting the plugin-info.html file is generated at target/generated-site/xdoc directory. However nothing is copied to target/site as the output file should be moved to target/generated-site/xhtml and it should have the extension .xhtml.vm.

I made the workaround that I copy and rename the html file to src/site/xhtml/plugin-info.xhtml.vm.
