The minisite package package implements a trivial replacement for the Maven site plugin.

• Single-page, static, XHTML 1.0 Strict, Javascript-free sites.
• Optional com.io7m.changelog integration.
• ISC license.

The plugin is designed to produce an extremely simple, static, single-page, XHTML 1.0 Strict site with no Javascript. The plugin assumes the existence of a 64x64 PNG file at src/site/resources/icon.png.

Add the following execution to the root module in your project:

<build>
  <plugins>

    <!-- Disable the existing maven-site-plugin -->
    <plugin>
      <artifactId>maven-site-plugin</artifactId>
      <version>...</version>
      <executions>

            <goal>site</goal>

          </configuration>

      </executions>
      <inherited>false</inherited>
    </plugin>
  </plugins>
</build>

By default, the maven-site-plugin is bound to the Maven site lifecycle phase, so it's generally preferred to disable the plugin by explicitly binding it to the none phase. The minisite plugin is intended for use with multi-module builds and is designed to run at most once for the parent module, in contrast to the once-per-module execution model of the maven-site-plugin. It's therefore recommended to set inherited to false as shown so that the plugin won't execute for any child modules.

The overviewFile parameter specifies an XHTML file that will be inserted into the overview section of the generated site.
