The maven-checkstyle-plugin caused the skinning to fail. What do I have to do?

It can happen that the skinning fails with the message like FileLength is not allowed as a child in Checker

This means you're using a newer checkstyle configuration file which is not supported by the used version of the maven-checkstyle-plugin. This can happen if the configLocation refers to file under version control.

The easiest way to solve this is to add/override the maven-checkstyle-plugin version in the reports-section of the target/siteskinner/pom.xml

The maven-changes-plugin caused the skinning to fail. What do I have to do?

Sometimes a NullPointerException occurs if the maven-changes-plugin tries to download a JIRA report.

The plugin fails to parse the XML returned by a newer version of JIRA.

The easiest way to solve this is to add/override the maven-changes-plugin version in the reports-section of the target/siteskinner/pom.xml

A report caused the skinning to fail. What do I have to do?

A NoClassDefFoundError can occur if the version of Maven is not compatable with the specified maven-site-plugin. Often you won't see this directly under the maven-site-plugin, but under one the reports.

You can either downgrade the version of Maven (since it has been successfully deployed in the past) or upgrade the version of the maven-site-plugin.
