We are pleased to announce the Maven Dashboard Plugin 1.8 release! 

http://maven.apache.org/maven-1.x/plugins/dashboard/

Generate a dashboard containing global statistics about other maven reports 

===============================================================================

Changes in this version include:

  New Features:

o Added aggregator totals to the HTML report. Fixes MPDASHBOARD-22. Thanks to 
  Morten Kristiansen. 

  Fixed bugs:

o Prevent failure in junitpassrate.jellydue to a division by zero when there 
  is a unit test source directory defined but no tests are executed. Fixes 
  MPDASHBOARD-17. Thanks to Philippe Kernevez. 

  Changes:

o Default values for maven.dashboard.basedir, maven.dashboard.includes, 
  maven.dashboard.excludesand maven.dashboard.ignoreFailuresare copied from 
  the equivalent Multiproject properties. This should reduce the number of 
  properties you have to set to get going as you need now only set the 
  Multiproject properties.  

===============================================================================
