Description

The root pom.xml contains the following element in the <reporting> section:

<plugin>
  <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
  <artifactId>maven-project-info-reports-plugin</artifactId>
  <version>2.5.1</version>
</plugin>

This has been made necessary because the parent Apache pom (currently in version 11) declares version 2.5 for the above plugin, and that plugin has a NullPointerException bug while generating the Maven reports for the sis-build-helper module. This issue has been fixed in 2.5.1 (MPIR-248). We should remove this hack after the next upgrade of Apache parent pom, if the new parent declare version 2.5.1 or above for the maven-project-info-reports-plugin.
