I'm looking for a plugin that will aggregate various reports from our maven project (which consists of many modules). I was using dashboard maven plugin but it doesn't seem to be updated lately and I have troubles with the reports it generates (mainly it makes only surefire reports, no pmd, findbugs, cobertura as it should).
So I'm looking for replacement, are there any similar plugins for maven2?
I've not yet had an opportunity to test it out myself, but I've heard that the XRadar plugin is pretty good.
It's "Designed for use with , JDepend , PMD , PMD-CPD , JavaNCSS , CKJM , Checkstyle , FindBugs , CLOC , JUnit , EMMA , Java2HTML and Ant."
The xradar-maven-plugin page describes how to get started.
Whilst it's not directly a maven plugin, have you considered looking at hudson? It does a fair bit of reporting aggregation for you… It's worked well for me, but I limit myself to PMD+findbugs+JUnit.
I've heard tell that Sonar is also a good dashboard, but I've not personally used it.
If you want to see Sonar in action, have a look to the public instance Nemo : http://nemo.sonarsource.org/
