Description

Hi,

when deploying a site of a multi module project (using mvn site-deploy), the deploy goal tell me that the site cannot be deployed because it has no been generated:

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-site-plugin:3.2:deploy (default-deploy) on project um-cgum: The site does not exist, please run site:site first -> [Help 1]

It's true because I set in the submodule um-cgum the property maven.site.skip to true.
When I set the property maven.site.deploy.skip to true, the deploy goal skip the deployment, which is fine.
Why not skipping deployment if the site generation is skipped?

thanks
