Maven : Generate html report

Question

Hi all!
I would like to know how to generate the html report with the maven plugin.
It's said that "Currently, FlexPMD produces a XML report by default, plus an HTML report when invoked by the Maven site plugin."
I added the section correponding to the FlexPMD in my pom project as following :
            <plugin>
                <groupId>com.adobe.ac</groupId>
                <artifactId>flex-pmd-maven-plugin</artifactId>
                <version>1.0.RC4</version>
            </plugin>
but when I do a site generation, it just generates me a pmd.xml report with the violations (good!) but the flexpmd.html report generated is empty (there are just the default informations about my project but nothing about pmd).
If someone has allready configured flexpmd on his maven project, I will be happy to have some help please!
Thanks'

Hi
We didn't modify anything to get the HTML report. We just download the source code of "flex-pmd-maven-plugin", modify the version in the pom to "1.0.RC4", and launch "mvn clean install"
This will install the plugin and download all dependencies in your MavenRepository
Then in the pom of our flex project we define the plugin in the <build><plugins> section and also in the <reporting><plugins> section , like this :
<plugin>
     <groupId>com.adobe.ac</groupId>
     <artifactId>flex-pmd-maven-plugin</artifactId>
     <version>1.0.RC4</version>
</plugin>
Then in the top level of our flex projet (the same level of the pom file) launch "mvn clean site"
This will generate the flexpmd.html in the target/site directory.
Hope it will help !
