Apache Maven Site Plugin – Maven Site Plugin History

Maven Site Plugin History

Maven Site Plugin uses:

Doxia to parse many markup languages then render HTML: see Creating Content documentation for mode details (particularly which markups are enabled by default in maven-site-plugin and how to add one),
Doxia Sitetools - Site Renderer to integrate document content into a template packaged as a skin: see Creating Skins documentation for more details,
Maven Reporting Executor to manage reports execution (since Maven 3; reports execution was managed by Maven itself in Maven 2: see Using maven-site-plugin with Maven3 documentation for more details).

Then rendering issues reported to Maven Site Plugin issue tracker are often translated to Doxia or Doxia Sitetools, and issues fixed in Doxia or Doxia Sitetools benefit to maven-site-plugin once dependency is upgraded.

Knowing which version of maven-site-plugin uses which version of Doxia or Doxia Sitetools is useful to choose to which version to upgrade maven-site-plugin to benefit from a fix.
