Maven site on multi module project could not resolve dependency

Viewed 3780

I want to split my continous integration job (Hudson) into two steps. (Because the runtime with build and reporting together takes too long.) In the first job, I build my multi module maven project with "mvn package" successfully. Then I copy my workspace to another location and try to build the project again only with the goal "site" and/or findbugs/checkstyle/pmd to create reports. But this doesn't work! Maven can't resolve a dependency of my submodules. (But all JARs are available in its target folders.)

Example: My structure looks like this:

  • Parent
    • A
    • B
    • C
    • D

Project C has as dependency project B.

When I build everything with "mvn site", it generates for project A and B all reports. But halted at project C with error message "Could not resolve dependencies for project B." But project B is already builded with "mvn package". I.e. I can find the JAR file of project B in its target folder.

Is there any way to resolve the dependency from submodule B without a "mvn install"? (I don't wanna do this on my ci server. I fear it could be dangerous for other jobs with the same code base.)
