You maintain your Maven project its documentation in a simple XML dialect called xdocs. It's then transformed to HTML and copied to the project its website. A colleague updated documentation and then did a "maven multiproject:site site:deploy". He saw that the generated HTML documentation wasn't updated. Except it was. Look at the following source:

  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

  <section name="Releases SuperProject">
  <subsection name="SuperProject-2.5.1-build01.ear">
