Configuring Reports

Note This plugin is retired. It is no longer maintained.

Since version 1.1, all Maven reports will be included by default in the generated PDF. You should configure the <reporting/> section of your POM similar than the site plugin

For instance, you could have the following: 

<project>
  ...
  <reporting>
    <plugins>
      <plugin>
        <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
        <artifactId>maven-project-info-reports-plugin</artifactId>
        <version>2.1.2</version>
        <reportSets>
          <reportSet>
            <reports>
              <report>project-team</report>
              ...
            </reports>
          </reportSet>
        </reportSets>
      </plugin>
      ...
    </plugins>
  </reporting>
  ...
  <project>
Notes:
  1. to exclude the reporting generation inside the PDF, you should add -DincludeReports=false in the command line.
  2. only internal reporting plugins will be added in the PDF, external reporting plugins like Javadoc will be skipped.

Enhancements

Having many reports increases hugely the build time, so it is recommended to select only the wanted reports to be included in the PDF. It is recommended to define a reporting profile in your pom, similar to the following: 

<project>
  ...
  <profiles>
    <profile>
      <id>pdf</id>
      <reporting>
        <plugins>
          <plugin>
            <artifactId>maven-project-info-reports-plugin</artifactId>
            <version>2.1.2</version>
            <reportSets>
              <reportSet>
                <reports>
                  <report>cim</report>
                  <!-- take too long time
                  <report>dependencies</report> -->
                  <report>dependency-convergence</report>
                  <report>dependency-management</report>
                  <!-- already present
                  <report>index</report> -->
                  <report>issue-tracking</report>
                  <report>license</report>
                  <report>mailing-list</report>
                  <report>plugin-management</report>
                  <report>plugins</report>
                  <report>project-team</report>
                  <report>scm</report>
                  <report>summary</report>
                </reports>
              </reportSet>
            </reportSets>
          </plugin>

      </reporting>
