Wendy, from maven-site-plugin doco, you dont create nagivation.xml at
the root.  Let the multiproejct:site generate it for you.


I have a bunch of "user-supplied documentation" that I need to link in, and I need it to be part of the root website. AFAICT, to do that I need to make a navigation.xml file. True?

Thanks,

FWIW, I struggled with this on a couple of projects and ended up finding it easier and more flexible to just maintain navigation.xml at each level. One thing that can make it slightly easier to manage the common elements (assuming you have these) is to use XML entities. Have a look at the commons-build project <http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/jakarta/commons/proper/commons-build/> that defines a setup shared by Jakarta Commons components. The navigation.xml file there and in all of the commons subprojects refer to an external dtd that defines xml entities corresponding to the shared menu items. This is a little convoluted - maybe not maven "best practice" - but works and is not that hard to maintain once you have it set up.
