Solution

Try:

    <plugins>
       ...
        <plugin>
            <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
            <artifactId>maven-site-plugin</artifactId>
            <version>3.0</version>
            <configuration>
                <reportPlugins> 
                    <plugin>
                        <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
                        <artifactId>maven-project-info-reports-plugin</artifactId>
                        <version>2.4</version>
                        <configuration>
                            <reportSets>
                                <reportSet>
                                    <reports>
                                        <report>dependencies</report>
                                        <report>dependency-convergence</report>
                                        <report>dependency-management</report>
                                        <report>index</report>
                                        <report>plugin-management</report>
                                        <report>project-team</report>
                                        <report>license</report>
                                        <report>summary</report>
                                    </reports>
                                </reportSet>
                            </reportSets>
                        </configuration>
                    </plugin>
                    ...
                </reportPlugins>
            </configuration>
        </plugin>
        ...
    </plugins>

(untested; I'm not sure about the reportSets-part)

Problem

I have upgraded from Maven 2 to Maven 3 and it seems to be working fine to `clean install`. However, in the Maven 3.x Compatibility Notes, it is mentioned that the `<reporting>` tag is no longer supported and should be moved up to the `<build>` tag. ``` <reporting> <plugins> <plugin> <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> <artifactId>maven-project-info-reports-plugin</artifactId> <version>2.1</version> <reportSets> <reportSet> <reports> <report>dependencies</report> <report>dependency-convergence</report> <report>dependency-management</report> <report>index</report> <report>plugin-management</report> <report>project-team</report> <report>license</report> <report>summary</report> </reports> </reportSet> </reportSets> </plugin> </plugins> </reporting> ``` I have commented this out and moved the plugin tag and its content, to the `<build><plugins>` tag. When I run `mvn validate` now, I get the following error: ``` [ERROR] The build could not read 1 project -> [Help 1] [ERROR] [ERROR] The project com.company.projectName:ProjectName:1.2 (C:\Svn\projectName\branches\projectName-1.2\System\4_ImplementationSet\WAS\src\pom.xml) has 1 error [ERROR] Malformed POM C:\Svn\projectName\branches\projectName-1.2\System\4_ImplementationSet\WAS\src\pom.xml: Unrecognised tag: 'reportSets' (position: START_TAG seen ...</version>\r\n <reportSets>... @123:21) @ C:\Svn\projectName\branches\projectName-1.2\System\4_ImplementationSet\WAS\src\pom.xml, line 123, column 21 -> [Help 2] ``` Am I missing something? I could just leave things as they are, but I gave it a try to move it, but it did not work.
