Maven Site Plugin vs Doxia vs Doxia Sitetools
Given this layered approach, rendering issues reported to MSITE Maven Site Plugin issue tracker are often translated to Doxia or Doxia Sitetools issues. Any issues fixed in Doxia or Doxia Sitetools are inherited to the maven-site-plugin once its dependency is updated.
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: this is the basis for the simplified migration guide.
