  <reporting>
    <plugins>
      <plugin>
        <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
        <artifactId>maven-surefire-report-plugin</artifactId>
        <version>2.16</version>
        <configuration>
          <outputDirectory>${basedir}/target/newsite</outputDirectory>
        </configuration>
      </plugin>
      <plugin>
        <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
        <artifactId>maven-site-plugin</artifactId>
        <version>2.1</version>
        <configuration>
          <outputDirectory>${basedir}/target/newsite</outputDirectory>
        </configuration>
      </plugin>
    </plugins>
