Description

When using a parent child project building from the parent, the child site.xml is not used. Instead I get the parent lay-out with menu's I don't want and links that won't work.

Another problem is that the content (dependencies) in the modules are wrong (I think they are from the parent).

Switching back to 2.0-beta-5 did resolve the issue, but at that version siteDirectory doens't work.

To reproduce:

Make parent
- Make parent site.xml
- Give parent his own menu (ParentMenu)
Make child
- Make child site.xml
- give child own menu (ChildMenu)

If you do a mvn site-deploy and look at the child it will have a ParentMenu which you don't want and it doen't have a ChildMenu which you do want.

This is a very annoying one. In one of my multi-module projects, with 5 child projects I have to do:

[at parent] mvn site site:deploy
[at child 1] mvn clean site site:deploy
...
[at child 5] mvn clean site site:deploy

Each sub-project has its own unit and integration testsuites, and the sites include cobertura and findbugs reports, which make the process of deploying a site extremely slow.

Duplicate of ~~MSITE-262~~ and ~~MSITE-293~~?

I have similar problems with 2.0-beta-6 and current 2.0-beta-7-SNAPSHOT from SVN (Revision: 657789). In 2.0-beta-5 the children's site.xml is respected, but in the other versions it is completely ignored: All menus defined in parent POM are shown in submodules (but should not). Furthermore, all other tags like bannerLeft and poweredBy are not overwritable in submodule's POM.
